In the stillness of the night, I wait,
For your footsteps to echo at my gate,
The moon whispers secrets of your return,
While the stars in silence, gently yearn.

Each moment stretches into hours unkind,
Your absence weighs heavy on my mind,
The wind carries distant echoes of your voice,
In this quiet, I have no choice.

My heart beats in rhythm with the ticking clock,
Every second a reminder of the love we unlock,
Dreams of you dance in the shadowed light,
Hoping you’ll come back and make everything right.

As dawn approaches with its soft embrace,
I find solace in the memories we chase,
Until you return, my love will remain,
Waiting for you through joy and pain.
