Shadows of Absence

How far have you gone from me?

No matter how much distance you place between us, 
you will always be within me,
hidden in a small corner of my heart,
only to reappear whenever it pleases you.
You’re shamelessly toying with me.

How far have you gone from me?

No matter how far you go, 
I will always find you.
I will yearn for you, 
search for you everywhere, 
only to find you by my side.

How far have you gone from me?

Wherever you go, 
you will always be here.
When you’re teasing me, 
I can’t help but play along
When you’re playing with me, 
laughter spills from my lips.

As a gentle breeze, 
as a warm wave,
I will search for you
among the words that elude me
—oh, poetry—
until I find you once again.
(Translated from Greek)

🌻Mary, just a soul scribbling stories in the language of poetry. Here, in my corner, I put life into words with a sprinkle of wanderlust.
