I love you

Aug 07, 2026

I love you.

I love you while I breathe.

I love you among
the people,
the heat,
the sweat,
the music.

I love you while I fade.

While the days,
the hours,
the minutes
evaporate.

I love you at night.

While I close my eyes.

While I scroll back
through old voice notes

just to hear you.

I love you
through all your
“I miss yous.”

Months ago.
A lifetime ago.

As if it were today.

I love you through the noise.
Through the words.
Through everything
we leave unsaid.

Through the promises
you never kept.

I love you through bitten nails.
Missed calls.
Cold coffee.

Through all those early mornings
I spent thinking of you.

The two of us at a concert,
moving beneath the lights.

Then suddenly,
your mouth on mine.

Bass.
Drums.
Breath catching.

As if we were alone.

As if there were
nothing else.

I love you while I cook.
While I walk to the pharmacy,
the supermarket,
the doctor.

I love you
while the emptiness grows.

I love you
while the air
feels like distance.

When even the wind
sounds like your name.

Through the rain
taking everything.

Everything
but your absence.

I love you
while I try to forget you.

While I wish I could
abandon this life
and step into yours.

I love you through
the impossible.

Through all the lines
we crossed.

Every rule
we already broke.

All the time
we've lost.

And the compass
that still points
in your direction.

I love you
while I live
a life without you.

While I wait for you.

While I wait.

While I know
you're thinking of me
too.

And still,
we say nothing.

I love you
while we drift.

I love you
while I long.

While I ache
for you to love me back.

To text me
every day.

To call me.

To send me
pictures of your life.

I love you
while I fall in love.

I love you
while the silence
thickens between us.
