I always listen out to hear your voice floating towards me,

A secret message in the breeze.

A charming voice full of unguarded strength,

Lulling me like a drug, with so much ease.

I have waited for so very long,

My patience matching that of an operating surgeon,

But your presence drifts in and out

Like the waves that crash against my ears and surge in.

I drown in my suffering,

I’ll long to hear your voice forevermore.

Without the rhythmic chime,

I disintegrate and burn down to my very core.

There is no cure from this affliction,

No medicine that I can take.

So, I search for you in my dreams,

Injecting your voice into my skin every night until I wake.
