Moonlit Love

I have loved you in whispers, in silent refrains,

Like a prayer the wind carries but never explains.

You are the moon, distant yet near,

And I, just a seeker, lost in my sphere.

It’s been years - years of wonder and wait,

Tracing your shadow in the hands of my fate.

I have searched for you in the sky’s silver glow,

The only place where your presence still shows.

You like what I like, but not me in turn,

A candle unlit, yet I still let it burn.

Close in a list, yet distant in soul,

A name on a screen, but never quite whole.

I have parted my joys, my wishes, my deeds,

Sowed silent prayers like scattering seeds.

Every blessing I whispered, though you never knew,

Carried your name in the depths of the blue.

If this isn’t love, then tell me what is?

A heart that beats, yet barely exists?

If this isn’t love, then what could it be?

A heart that beats for what it can't see?

And if love must be something defined,

I’ll spend my life tracing the stars for a sign.
