I haven't stopped thinking about you

I haven't stopped thinking about you,
about every word that dares not come out,
the echo of your laughter envelops me, draws me in,
and in the deep silence, I would like to tell you,
that I miss you, that I think about you,
that time is cruel in its passing.
The hours go by, but my heart stops,
it stops in those moments that were so ours,
in distant whispers and glances that frame
the memory of a love that never fades,
even if I don't look for you, even if fear holds me back.
I imagine you in the wind, in the touch of the breeze,
in the murmur of the river that flows at my feet,
and I would like to write to you, unleash my experiences,
tell you that, despite the silence, you still live in me,
your name still echoes in every dawn.
But I don't write to you, I don't break the spell,
I fear that the words will escape in vain,
that the paper will not bear what consumes me,
that time will draw distance between us,
and that ‘I love you’ drowns in the echo of a sigh.
