A tender, wistful poem capturing the quiet intimacy of memory and longing. The poem invites a loved one into the sacred space of dreams, cherishing moments that reality can no longer hold.
It’s a meditation on love, absence, and the gentle haunting of the heart.

# Whispers in the Night #

You stepped inside my room today,
Without a sound, you found your way.
You leaned in close and whispered near,
The voice I’ve longed for all these years.

You sat beside me, quiet, still,
As close as hearts that always will.
I heard your heartbeat, soft and deep,
A tender rhythm through my sleep.

Just stay awhile and hum that song,
The way you did when days were long.
But do not wake me; dream’s not done,
Even in dreams, my soul won’t shun.

Don’t pull my ear or touch my head,
Let me dream of you instead.
If this is sleep, then let it stay,
Don’t let the dawn steal you away.

Just let me drift where memories grew,
And live once more the life we knew.
So when the night brings shadows deep,
Come and haunt me gently in my sleep
