Everything shifted...

Before you…
happiness was something distant, almost theoretical...a vast, echoing quiet...a color I could not see...I existed, yes, but I did not live...

But then you arrived,
and everything shifted... You were the turning point…

You didn’t just touch my life,
you gave it meaning...

And now... there is a silence that echoes with one question:
where are you… and who holds your presence now? I
don't know who you share your days with...There is a quiet torment in not knowing... A shadow that never leaves my side...

But, I dream that when this long road finally brings me home… you will be waiting... I find myself holding onto something fragile...Hope...

And somehow, that dream
becomes my strength...

It is my fuel...
It is what carries me through the emptiness,
what keeps my steps from collapsing
under the weight of missing you...

I cling to that hope like a shipwrecked soul to a star...

You rescued me, my love.You are, and forever will be, my reason to be...

My happiness…
has learned to orbit your presence.
And the thought of seeing you again�"
that single moment�"
has become the reason I endure all the rest...

The expectation of some type of a reunion is the only thing that sustains me now...My existence is contingent on you...exist...You have rescued me from an empty existence...presence...Seeing you again is all I live for...
Carl Nicolas.
