Is this loneliness or insanity? Your face is as clear as the night sky yet I’ve never seen you before. I can sense your presence near me yet you’re nowhere to be found. I hear the unspoken words you’re telling me yet silence surrounds me. I know you very well yet at the same time I don’t.
Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me and I feel your presence everywhere. I see you in strangers’ faces and I let myself pretend that they’re you, just so I can see you again. You’re the song I’m listening to and I let myself believe that we’re listening to the same radio. You’re in every book I read and every sentence feel like they’re written just for me, like you’re talking directly to me. It’s stupid but I never brush off these tricks because they make me feel closer to you.
Feeling peaceful was something I craved the most yet had trouble achieving. At night, all my heavy thoughts seem to come all at once and I got nowhere to run. I was slowly dying without anyone knowing. Until you came into my life and suddenly my nightmares were replaced with daydreams about us. You weren’t a superhero but you were a comfort I needed. Now feeling well-rested became a feeling I expect to feel every day. Not only did I fall in love with you but I also fell in love with life.
