Listen

If your heart whispers my name,

If it calls you in quiet moments,

If it hums the song of my love—

listen.

If on a Tuesday at 3 p.m. you are suddenly overcome—

my smile flooding your thoughts,

your chest aching for the sound of my laughter—

listen.

If regret curls inside of you in silence,

if the question of what if

gnaws at your soul

and dares you to seek—

listen.

If an unseen pull grips you,

relentless and unyielding,

if every thought stumbles into a memory of me,

and there is no escaping my presence—

listen.

If something deep and primal carves into your chest,

leaving you breathless,

wandering,

searching,

restless with wonder—

listen.

Listen,

for it is my heart

speaking across the distance.

Calling you home.

Asking you to stop questioning,

to stop chasing shadows,

to stop doubting—

and to listen.
