How is it
that you felt my yearning?

You seem to have
taken a step out
into your own world,
yet linger in mine.

But I have learned
from reading you,
that with time
all I need to do
is wonder,
and let life tap your shoulder.

And you always willingly respond
to my inaudible searching voice,
as the sound of ocean waves
soothes a desolate soul;

without intrusion,
but with patience,
devotion and perpetual affection…
