Waiting at the Unseen Border

I stand where the daylight fades,

Shadows draw the lines between our names.

The sky carries whispers of your voice,

But silence is the only choice.

Every step I dream of taking,

Ends where distance keeps me waiting.

I’m waiting at the unseen border,

Where your hand can’t reach for mine.

Love is louder than this distance,

But the walls are still defined.

I’m waiting at the unseen border,

Praying time will realign.

The moon paints your face in my memory,

A photograph I can’t set free.

Letters on the wind dissolve too soon,

Yet I chase them beneath the moon.

Hope is fragile, yet I’m holding,

To the flame that keeps unfolding.

I’m waiting at the unseen border,

Where tomorrow feels so near.

Though the silence grows around me,

Your heartbeat’s what I hear.

I’m waiting at the unseen border,

Til the path is finally clear.

No ocean wide, no mountains high,

Can bury what I feel inside.

If fate won’t bend, I’ll still believe,

Love’s a vow I’ll never leave.

I’m waiting at the unseen border,

Tracing stars to where you are.

Every night I write your name in constellations,

Though they vanish with the dawn.

I’m waiting at the unseen border,

Love has never felt this strong.

If tomorrow never shows the way,

I’ll still carry you through night and day.

Even when the distance wins,

Love begins where borders end.

I’m waiting at the unseen border,

Where the sky and earth divide.

Though the miles keep us apart now,

You’re forever by my side.
