Where are you? How come I have lost sight of you so suddenly?
One minute you were here and the next you were gone.
Your perpetual presence, so reassuring and beautiful in my life now seems to have vanished. Out of my reach.
Where are you? Did I do something to make you sad?
I took for granted many simple things that you freely gave, always with a gentle smile and kind eyes. Don’t be mistaken; I was, am and will always be grateful for each and every one of them.
Where are you? Are you not hearing my soul crying out to you?
We are so different, the both of us. But, in so many ways, we are also the same. Our hearts are connected and the bond between us can only be deepened by time and history.
Where are you? Let my love for you reach out to you and touch your heart.
Don’t you feel it? This mystical magic that seems to embrace us in its protection. I care for you and you care for me.
Where are you? You were never gone, were you?
No. It was just me whose heart raced hysterically when I realised how much I lean on you and I was suddenly plagued by this irrational fear that this corrupt world might take you away from.
I am flooded by such a rush of affection that it feels like a fist is clenching my heart when you come in though the door and your eyes look around for me. I rush to your side and take your hand. You look mildly surprised but you sigh happily when I embrace you in a hug.
My love for you and your love for me. It seems so breathtaking.
