The engulfing darkness and the silence stretched too long,

The engulfing darkness and the silence stretched too long,
My heart was shattering into pieces, but I had to stay strong.
The chilled wind was piercing every inch of my soul,
The mask of stillness was the only way to keep my emotions in control.
Moments of tender love just made me realize that I am alive,
Meanwhile, destiny conspired with cruelty, making it hard to survive.
The soulful, tender face was blurring from my sight,
How much I wanted to hold her hands, but nothing I could rewrite.
The velvety embrace soothed my pain, and my anxiety vanished for a while,
The eternal thing I want to hold closer is you and your never-ending smile.
Don’t worry, love, if I have to say goodbye,
I will visit you as the first rain and the first snowfall and be with you from high.
