Nura

I decided to keep watch on you from walls,
I moved my shoes away to give you a breath,
Nevertheless, have I ever moved miles away,
I kept a moderate distance to watch every
 step of you,
Look all of the tears I have never wept, 
When the distance stretched with loose 
Communications.
I lost the ears of the taste of your tongue.

I thought I was shading you,
Rather, I was, drilling the pain in me,
Memories are stronger than my work,
Heavier than my weight,
Darker than my nights,
But sweeter than my sleep.
Nura my girl, I let you in with all I can, 
And I will walk miles to see your similes,
