I Dreamt You Came Back For Me

 

Open Studio - 2025

​

​The sky holds its breath on the old chairs

Only one heart is beating here tonight. 

There’s an empty space beside me; I do not fill it.  

I water it instead with the slow drip of waiting; I speak to it the language of almost.

​

Here, you live, inside my silence. 

I dreamt you came back for me,  

not as ghost, not as echo, but as homecoming,  

bare feet finding the cool path,  

your shoulder sliding into the place it never truly left.  

​

Until then, I surrender to the stubborn belief  

that love always finds its way home.
