Return When the Heart Cries

A hauntingly emotional poem about silent longing, unspoken love, and the inevitable pull of a heart that refuses to forget. It explores distance, desire, and the moment when love calls someone back without a single word.

Go—

run through rivers,

drink from every shore that welcomes you,

lose yourself in borrowed eyes,

and rest, even briefly,

in hearts that are not mine.

I will not call you back.

My longing has learned silence,

my voice buried beneath

the weight of missing you.

But love…

love is not always quiet.

One day,

the flame I carry for you

will rise—

wild, uncontrollable,

touching skies your absence never could.

It will burn through distance,

through denial,

through every place you tried to forget me.

And somehow—

without a word from me,

you will feel it.

A sudden ache,

a restless night,

a heaviness you cannot name.

And when your heart begins to break

for no reason you understand—

Come back.

Not because I asked,

but because you felt

what we never stopped being.
