My Silent Lover

From afar, I see you.
Silently, I watch.
My  burdens are lightened
with your presence.
A jester, I become
to mask my emotions.
Darkness befalls my weary soul
when you face I do not see.
In my visions, you magically appear
fullfilling my every wish.
Never did I dare believe
you were doing the same.
Your actions mirrored my own.
Two lost souls drowning
in the rampaging waters
of lonliness and uncertainty,
rescued for our love for each other.
