By candle’s glow, I lie awake,
The shadows dance, my heart does ache.
The flame is soft, but burns so bright,
Yet can’t replace your warmth tonight.
The room is still, the world is far,
Each breath I take feels like a scar.
The silence speaks, though nothing’s said,
Without you here, this empty bed.
The flicker fades, the night grows cold,
And memories of you unfold.
Your laughter, touch, your tender gaze—
I miss you in a thousand ways.
By candlelight, I wait and yearn,
For your return, for love’s return.
Till then, this flame will guide my dreams,
But none as bright as where you gleam.
