This time, please stay

You came

You said ‘‘I can’t’’

You left

You came

You said

‘‘you can only touch the walls around my soul’’

And you left again

You came

You said

‘‘I can only give you a small part of me, not more’’

And once again, you left

You came

The hours were filled with words

but for the first time

you had brought peace with you

and for the first time

I had brought silence

And when peace and silence started dancing

together

In an unexpected moment

When you were searching for the right words

I found them inside my heart

and gave them to you

in one fearless sentence:

I love you!

And now

There are no walls left between you and me

There is only Love between me and you

But did I also tell you how I love you?

I love you

As if someone told me long time ago

That I should carry you in my heart forever

Like when you carry a child to protect him

Like when you carry a secret treasure

Like an ocean carrying a ship on its giant waves

And when I asked why

There was only silence!

I love you

As if there is a gene in my body cells

coded to let my heart love you unconditionally

And now you know

I will love you from miles away or a few inches close

I will love you, whether absent or present in your life

You came and you left

Again and again

But this time

Please stay

With your voice that feels like home

With your hands that caress my hair

This time

Please stay

With your soul

With your entire being.
