I think of you in quiet moments,
And in the middle of busy days,
In the spaces between my thoughts,
You somehow always find your way.

You are the voice I wait to hear,
The name that lights up on my phone,
The one who calls while running errands,
Making sure I never feel alone.

You leave for work before the sunrise,
Just to steal a little time with me,
And sit beneath the park's old trees,
Stretching moments longer than they should be.

Your kindness lives in everything,
In every word and every smile,
In every effort that you make,
To stay and talk a little while.

You are gentle, loving, thoughtful,
The kind of man so rare to find,
The sort who leaves a lasting mark
Upon a waiting heart and mind.

We laugh together, share our stories,
And fill the hours with simple things,
Yet every memory leaves me wishing
For all the possibilities it brings.

Because though I treasure what we have,
There is a wish I cannot hide
A longing that lives deep within,
To have you always by my side.

But life has drawn its lines around us,
And some dreams remain untold,
So I hold close the time we're given,
More precious far than any gold.

And still, when evening shadows gather,
And another day is through,
My heart whispers the same soft wish
I wish that I was next to you.
