If I Could Sit Beside You Now Poem by WIN VENTURA

If I could sit beside you now,
No words — just hush, no sacred vow.
I'd take your hand, not ask you why,
Just let you lean, just let you cry.

Not to fix, or talk of fate,
Or say your storm will dissipate.
But to be a lighthouse in your dark,
A steady flame, a silent spark.

I'd say: 'You're not forgotten, no —
Not by stars or earth below.
You are not broken, not alone,
You're every heartbeat carved in stone.'

You've fed the hungry, lifted weight,
Loved through silence, burned through hate.
So if you're tired, don't be ashamed —
You are the fire no one tamed.

And if the world won't bend for you,
Lets bring the sky, lets change the view.
Because your soul — fierce, strange, and true —
Deserves a love that chooses you.
