To The One I Long For Poem by Mario, Lucien, Rene Odekerken

I speak to you
through the silence,
my thoughts reaching out
like whispers in the dark.

I do not know your voice,
yet it lingers in my mind,
a song I have never heard
but cannot forget.

The distance between us is vast,
unmeasured,
yet I feel you
in every quiet moment,
in the spaces where hope resides.

Iam here,
waiting,
not for rescue,
but for the light
I know only you will bring.

When the day comes,
I will not ask for words---
just your presence
to fill the empty corners
of this waiting heart.
