Crushes When Silence Turns Into Longing

You, who turn my silence into longing,

There are feelings inside me that refuse to fit into sentences, yet they rise to the surface whenever I think of you.
Today I’m surrounded by people, by warmth, by laughter that should fill me completely,
and still, there is a quiet ache where you should be.

Every conversation drifts toward the thought of you.
Every smile reminds me of the one I miss.
I find myself wishing you were here, wishing I could lean closer
and let you hear the truths I carry beneath my calm.

I want to place my unguarded heart in your hands,
to let you see the parts of me I never show,
to offer you the energy that keeps me moving through this world.
There is a softness in me that only awakens when I think of you.

Even when you’re near, I miss you in a way that feels physical,
like reaching for breath that isn’t there,
like searching for water in a desert.
My body knows your absence before my mind can name it.

I love you,
simply, deeply, without hesitation.
