To S [on Valentine's day]

How do I get to u?
How can I hold myself back from going astray in the maze of tranquil memories?
Before your phantom captures my soul
& makes a home there

Show me a sign so that I can reach out to u
Do me a favor
Please give me the privilege to love u
For the moon has to reach out to the sun

Allow me too
To just reflect
In the illumination of your never ending love

Let me b your faithful shadow
Let me b that piece of burning wood that will keep u warm in your winter nights.

I ask nothing in return.
Not even a momentary gaze
Just let me be
Please let me lie around in some
Unwanted corner of your life
Like a silent forsaken dog.

I need to reach out to u to reach me.
Please help me to re discover myself.

Do me this favor.
And I promise to fall silent.

Forever.
