In the silence of the night, when stars whisper incomprehensible secrets

In the silence of the night, when stars whisper incomprehensible secrets,
Memories sing to me like a wind tearing through deep stillness.
Her dance's metaphors are waves crashing against cliffs of thought,
A paradox of love that burns without casting light.
I know all her songs like a prayer of self-loss,
While mine are birds without wings, flights to nowhere.
I read her books as if each word were a shooting star,
But she never gazed at my sky, full of unknown constellations.
In her films, I found tears born from laughter of days gone by,
But mine she let flow into rivers without banks.
A ritual of forgetting, a mystery of unshared love,
I murmured her poems like unanswered prayers.
I tell myself that love is not a mirror, but a labyrinth of solitude,
Where shadows of desires intertwine with the light of hope.
I wonder, on nights when the wind sings my songs,
If she ever tried to listen to the silence within me.
