A Tale That Never Changes
You are not the one I dreamed of,
and I am not the one you sought.
But when we met,
it felt as though I had known you forever,
as though you had wandered from my dreams
into my waking world.
My heart stumbled when I moved closer to you,
and in that moment,
everything shifted.
Your presence became my prayer,
a quiet longing I couldn’t name.
There are no reasons, no words,
only the silence that binds us,
a story written in the stars,
unchanging no matter how often it’s told.
My love, it will not fade;
it will only grow—
like roots deepening,
like tides returning to the shore.
If a star could hear the whispers of my heart,
I would pray,
again and again,
for my soul to rest near yours.
So near,
that our hearts might hum a melody
only we could hear—
a quiet harmony, unbroken and infinite.
