She's at a loss for words.
As thoughts of him linger.
The air around her filled with silence.
How did she get so lucky?
She murmurs a sigh.
Amplified by a whisper of the night.
The words hold a different meaning now.
Perhaps more empathic than before.
Her need for him grows stronger.
As crystal tears fall.
Only to be stopped by the mere sound of his voice.
Lost illusions, once broken by the way things should be are restored.
She's learning how to live in this new reality.
He's all she needs.
With words holding such inspiration, such brilliance.
Though he doesn't see the meaning they have.
The little things that keep her hand closed tightly around his.
Never to let go.
The safety she feels in his arms.
Greater than anything she's ever known.
It's ebough to keep her in this state of contentment forever.
And though she was so afraid to fall in love.
Unsure of how to feel about it.
Trust was built, defenses let down.
She learned there was nothing better.
Such intense feelings as she lived for those moments.
Where it seemed nothing could go wrong.
But when apart, the distance was relentless.
As she longed to be with him.
to be whole again.
She gazes into the sky.
The beauty of the stars reminding her of him.
She replay the days events to herself.
Addicted and hopeless.
She whispers "I love you," and it is devoured into the night.
She can only hope he understands.
The floating feeling thoughts of him bring about.
She can only wonder if he feels the same.
As her thoughts fade into the night, he's always the last thing she thinks about.
And she wonders, if with the change of time, these feelings will only get stronger.
Author notes
I loved your "Addicted and Hopeless" part of your instructions, I thought it fit well with the theme of my poem. Hope you don't mind me borrowing it. Let me know if you do.

oh wow, this was very pretty. it was like a painting, only in words.. i can feel how much she loves him, how completely engulfed in emotion this one particular person makes her. What a pretty write. I love the part where she says "I love you" and it's engulfed into the night.. so picturesque..
Thank you for entering. -

I got the message you are sending with this piece, however, I think maybe...there are some misspelled words here that kind of lost me for a moment and I had to try to figure them out. I do like the message and the emotion though. Thanks for entering
