The Lover

I’ll be right here my dear,  
Both your hands,
Wrapped in my palms.  
 
My gaze, gently longing,  
Only for your safe return.  
 
Not one thing you need,  
Not one thing to do for me.  
 
Just one day at a time.  
 
I’ll always be right here, once more, my dear.  
 
My curious child, of spangled heart  
The pearly night laughs in your eyes  
Even when there’s another sigh.  
 
“You know the stars,  
They’re not so far apart you see,  
One string,  
Smiles between their rays.”  
 
The sky clothed in a deeper skin,  
A sunset’s curtains close.  
~So soon called your time to go.  
 
“But in the blue,  
Alone in blankets of doubt  
As soon as time escaped  
I never left, just like before”  
 
I’ll be right here my dear,  
Both your hands,  
Wrapped in my palms.  
 
My gaze, gently longing,  
Only for your safe return.  
 
Not one thing you need,  
Not one thing to do for me.  
 
Just one day at a time.  
 
I’ll always cast my string, once more.  
 
Even if tears must fall,  
More than a second time.  
Shining through the window,  
I’ll be waiting right there.  
 
Once your eyes meet mine,  
In a midnight sea of unknown.  
 
One more day at a time.  
One more day at a time.  
 
I promise, we will make it there, my dear.
