Moonlit Longing

Moonlit Longing"*

"Endless nostalgia fills my mind,
As I dine,
The night grants solace,
With the beauty all around,
My thoughts take flight,
Pondering if he's had his bite.

The night is enchanting,
The moon, a trusted confidant,
Gazing from his heart's abode,
Enduring pain returns to my heart.

His unspoken heart left when I was eighteen,
His searching eyes, no longer seen,
His supportive arms, still and serene,
His embrace, my pillow,
But where is he now,
Still waiting for me somehow,
In the dark night?

Where are you, my soulmate,
In the joy-filled eye, we met,
At the tender age of twelve,
Time, swift as a gazelle.

Your ambitious words still echo in my ear,
Your voice, my comrade, so clear,
Longing to meet you again, my dear.
In the dance of memories, I find my way,
Through endless nights and endless days,
Though time has parted, hearts still beat,
Cherished bonds, forever sweet
