I will wait for you,
through mornings that have lost their light,
through evenings cradling silent wounds,
within the voiceless circle of time.
Like the dew that waits for flowers,
like the wind in search of a name,
I keep every longing alive
between the fragile years that fade away.
Every lifetime is but a doorway,
forever empty without your shadow.
The heavens keep writing the same destiny:
I… return to loving you.

I will wait for you
through all my lifetimes.
Though every season wears a different face,
though time itself should fall and break.
If I become the wind,
I’ll gently cradle your hair.
If I become the sea,
I’ll wait forever for your boat.
If I become a prayer,
I’ll keep knocking on heaven’s gate,
until destiny brings you
home to me.
Once I became a tree,
waiting for the fragrance of your footsteps.
Yet you arrived as a storm,
bringing down the longing
I had never dared to speak.
Once I became a river,
flowing in search of your footprints.
Yet you were only passing rain,
washing away your name
before I could touch it.
Once I became a bird,
with broken wings pursuing the seasons.
And now, as a human soul,
I have learned the sorrow
of eyes that choose to leave.
If one day I become a stone,
on a distant, silent shore,
let your feet remember me,
if only for a single moment in eternity.
If I am born again as dust,
I will still carry your universe within me.
For my love has never found an ending,
though the world has ended
time and time again.
I will wait for you
until time forgets its own name,
until the stars extinguish their light,
until the heavens close the book of history.
I will wait for you,
even if your face becomes a stranger,
even if your heart belongs
to another world.
My love will never turn away.
And when the final light has faded,
when the universe sinks back into silence,
I will still whisper
to eternity—
“I will wait for you…
through all my lifetimes…
even after life itself
has left us behind.”
