Non Existent

I wake to your image in my mind, craving your touch and the whisper of your voice in my ear.

I dream of your arms wrapped around me, holding me in your loving embrace.

I fall into slumber with your name on my lips wishing I could taste your kiss.

I question why I feel this way for you because we’ve never met.

I only know your face in my dreams, and I hunger to make those dreams real.

I am so alone, and I feel like my heart will never heal without your help.

I don’t cry because I can’t.

Tears would only show this weakness I have for you.

I hide behind who everyone expects me to be, but I am not that person.

I am not faithless.

I am not hopeless.

I am not strong.

I am not fearless.

Only you see who I am.

You are my confidant.

You are the one who keeps me honest.

You are my strength.

You are my honor.

You are my faith.

I will always remain alone because you do not exist……….
