All you have to do is call their name
We will find each other again,
not as echoes or memories,
but as we were before the world split us apart.
I don’t know what waits beyond this life,
but I like to believe you’re somewhere soft,
somewhere safe,
where the hurt doesn’t follow and time can’t reach.
Maybe you’re tracing the constellations with your fingers,
learning the names of stars I’ve never seen.
Maybe you’ve kept a space beside you,
just quiet enough for me to fill when I arrive.
I won’t pretend it’s easy here,
walking without you,
breathing through the ache.
But I carry your name in the hollow of my chest,
and some days, that’s enough to keep me going.
And if that place is real
if love is stronger than endings,
then you’ll know me by the sound of my heart
long before you see my face.
We are not done.
We are just apart.
