He bloomed in the garden of my dreams,
A dream kissed by angels and left untainted,
It bloomed, but brought no light to me,
Instead, it carved sorrow into my heart,
A silent cry echoed through the corridors of my soul,
For a heartbeat, I mistook the dream for life,
The moment I knew, tears traced silent paths down my face,
My heart ached for it to be more than just a dream,
I no longer longed for dreams, only silence,
But I'd forgotten that dreams are the only place where he still reaches me.
I fought the tides of memory to leave him behind,
And find the strength to turn the page,
Yet the universe whispers a different song,
Like gravity, it holds me close to him again,
It draws me back to the moment I first saw him as forever,
Then his beautiful brown eyes rise like the sun, soft and endless in my mind,
His smile lights the corners of my heart, and I smile back,
I watch his waves of hair dance upon the breeze,
And, by heavens, it burns within,
Like spring reborn, love blooms once more within me,
But this time, shadowed by the ghost of his past.
His absence echoes in the chambers of my heart,
The pain of missing him grows heavy as night,
I miss him until the emptiness makes me weak and unwell,
Like poison in my veins,
I miss him until my heart is cracked and raw,
I miss him until the storm of tears leaves my mind broken and sore,
I miss him until the ache takes root within my chest,
I miss him till my eyes glow with the weight of sorrow,
I miss him so painfully, my soul knows no peace or joy,
I miss him like the moon misses the sun in the pitch dark night,
I miss him, insufferably.
God, no soul has ever stirred my love as he does,
It appears my heart beats only to the rhythm of him,
He is the constant whisper in the silence of my mind,
With each dawn, my heart beats louder for him,
My heart aches for that dream to take its place in day,
When my soul unfolded line by line, only for him,
When I can lose myself in his eyes for all eternity,
Instead of loving him in silence, from worlds away,
He walks in, and the emptiness folds itself into meaning,
Each time I see him, my heart forgets how to breathe,
And in the silence, it begins to sing his name.
With him, the rest of the world could fall away,
In his eyes, I find my heaven,
My heart longs to confess how deeply it beats for him,
And how deeply I long to belong to him,
But, it remains a secret within me and my heart,
I yearn for that dream to rise and breathe beneath the sun,
I'd find my joy complete if this dream walked into my life,
And if fate denies this wish,
Like a lover possessed, my heart will beat only for him,
I'll adore him from a distance, as we do the moon's mysterious glow,
But, if he's not the one, then no one else could ever be.
