"Can I lay by your side

Next to you

And make sure you are alright?

I will take care of you..."

Midnight haze covers the sky. Laced in dew, the easterlies softly caress the back of my neck, as if to ease the ache of your absence. Chosen by art, you must leave behind the one you adore to attend to the souls who crave your attention. It is a fate you’ve chosen for yourself—with my permission.

Nights are usually my refuge, a quiet space where my thoughts wander freely, away from eyes that half-see me, unburdened by cruel scrutiny. But tonight is different. Your absence invades all my thoughts. Every street I look at, every corner I turn, I search for you, hoping—foolishly, perhaps—to see you walking towards me.

You say distance fuels love in its autumn with longing, and maybe you’re right. For I long for you with an urgent need, a pull so deep I can hardly contain it. My guiding light, the life of my soul, the music to my songs, the rhythm of my heart—can you abandon the world you are in, just for a moment, to be with me in the world I am in?
