The Echo of Love

A Soul That Keeps Waiting

Love came without any warning

His eyes captured my soul

He smiled, I lost control

My heart skipped ten beats

Time froze when he spoke

His silence said a lot

His presence became my peace

I lived through his laughter

Every word carved into memory

He never confessed in words

But I felt his heart

When he looked, I melted

When he left, I broke

He was poetry, pure rhythm

He touched without using hands

He stayed without any promises

His goodbye was never spoken

Yet he faded like mist

He left, I stayed loyal

I waited, he disappeared far

My world remained in pause

His name echoed through veins

His scent lived in wind

Every day felt like forever

Every night cried for him

Dreams shattered under moon’s watch

Pillow soaked with silent tears

His memory hugged me tight

His voice played like music

Inside me, love kept breathing

Not for return — for truth

Because real love never ends

It just changes its form

From presence to pure absence

From words to silent remembrance

From hugs to endless longing

From forever to still now

I loved with no reason

Just heart, soul and silence

I counted stars in pain

I talked to empty walls

I wrote his name daily

I smiled while slowly dying

People saw me, not love

They didn’t see hidden scars

My laugh was fake performance

Only moon knew my story

Only sky heard my cries

My soul was love’s shrine

He worshipped it, then left

But I still stood there

Where we last smiled together

Wind brings his name back

Birds carry pieces of him

His image lives in clouds

Raindrops sound like his footsteps

I see him in strangers

I chase him in shadows

He’s gone, but not really

My love keeps him alive

Even if he forgets me

I remember both of us

Not the way we ended

But how we once began

Two souls, one shared silence

Unsaid words, unspoken promises forever

Eyes told stories, lips hid

Time betrayed, distance grew vast

But love didn’t fade away

It turned into holy pain

A pain I cherish daily

I wear it like jewelry

Because he gifted it silently

Some days, I curse fate

Other nights, I thank stars

For letting me feel love

Even if it broke me

He was a beautiful storm

He destroyed, then flew away

But oh, what a love

He taught me to feel

He taught me to dream

He taught me real depth

He was art, not human

Every moment with him matters

Even if he forgets all

I’ll remember until last breath

And maybe even after that

If souls meet, I’ll wait

If not, I still love

My love doesn’t beg returns

It only breathes truth silently

It burns, heals, breaks, survives

Love isn’t about getting back

It’s about never letting go

Even when hands are empty

Even when memories are fading

Even when hearts are torn

Even when silence screams louder

Even when goodbye feels endless

Even when tears become prayers

Even when hope seems foolish

Even when years pass away

Even when he loves someone

Even then, I still love

Because love is my language

Because love chose only him

Because hearts don’t lie ever

He is still my forever

Even if we never meet

Even if we walk away

Even if worlds separate us

Even if stars fall apart

I’ll still say his name

Not out loud — in soul

Deep within where truth lives

Where no lies can reach

Where only he exists now

He is part of me

Not memory, not just past

But air, thoughts, my identity

They say time heals all

But time just teaches control

Pain doesn’t leave, it settles

Love doesn’t fade, it hides

And he is that love

The one who never stayed

Yet never truly left me

The one I still protect

From world, from truth itself

From questions, from cruel endings

He’s safe inside my verses

He lives in every metaphor

He is my silent inspiration

He was never mine truly

But I was always his

Even if he never knew

Even if he’ll never know

He changed my definition forever

He carved space inside me

That no one else fills

That even time respects deeply

Some say love is madness

I say — love is eternity

It chooses once, loves forever

And even in total darkness

Love finds light in memory

That’s what he gave me

Not promises, not forever time

But a feeling beyond lifetime

That keeps me breathing today

That keeps me writing this

That reminds me who I am

A lover without an end

A soul tied to love

That never asked for return

But kept giving, kept glowing

In this cruel, noisy world

Where love is often traded

Mine stayed like sacred fire

It hurts, but heals too

It bleeds, but still smiles

It cries, but never ends

It’s called true love’s echo

The echo of endless devotion

And that echo — is me.
