In the quiet of the night, I hear your voice,
A gentle whisper carried by the breeze,
Each word a memory of silent joys,
In the solitude, your presence I seize.

Stars above seem dimmer without your gaze,
Moonlight dances, but shadows fall cold,
In dreams, your laughter sets my heart ablaze,
Yet waking hours find me lonely and old.

Time stretches long, each moment a year,
Counting seconds in the absence of you,
Every heartbeat echoes a silent tear,
In every thought, your shadow comes through.

Though distance parts us, my heart holds tight,
To every memory, every shared smile,
In this longing, I find a gentle light,
For love transcends each separating mile.
