In the vast expanse of every life unlived, in the uncharted territories of every land not seen, I seek you. In the symphonies of every music not yet heard, and in the poignant silence that echoes into the wind, I search for your presence, your essence.

I yearn for you in every thrill ever tasted, and in the elusive thrills left unfelt. In the vastness of the sea ever sailed, and in the unspoken words that linger in the depths of my soul, I seek your imprint.

I rummage through the things put away, the unworn clothes, and in the creases of time etched around my eyes, where moments once danced and now remain as bittersweet memories. In everything that is not, I find the absence of you, the void of your absence, the longing for your presence.

Yet, in the stillness of every night, I’ll find you. In the realm of dreams, where time knows no bounds, I’ll find you there, at least. In the ethereal world of slumber, you’ll reside, a solace for my restless heart, a sanctuary for my yearning soul.
