I was waiting for a sprite of life,
Someone to be forever by my side.
If I had just one wish to make,
I'd ask for her love, pure and wide.
A melody of time, a ticking clock,
Echoed in the silence, a steady beat.
My heart grew worried, fear took hold,
As if alone in an ocean, lost and weak.
In dreams, she held my hand, kissed my cheek,
Her touch a balm, yet pain still lingered.
Behind her, a bright light hid in shadows,
A secret waiting to be uncovered.
The ticking clock, a signal in the night,
A whisper of fear, a dream's disguise.
Was it real, or just a sleep-induced sight?
A soul's worry, or a heart's sweet lies?
Awake, the melody still whispered low,
The brightness hid a spreading dark despair.
A fear of loss, a love that wouldn't let go,
Her eyes held truths she couldn't bear.
If you're listening, my only wish is clear,
Your smile, forever, is all I hold dear.
Though paths and dreams may shift and change,
Love remains, a constant, steadfast flame.
