A Word

Late at night I search and search for a word
that word
that explains how I feel about you and how much I truly adore you
but I cannot find that word
so for now,
it'll be your name.
Your name, forever the name on my lips.

It will stain my soul with desire.
Your name.
I will whisper it to the night sky
praying that you hear me on waves of star dust
Your name
will be my anchor in the night when I am cold.
When I am wishing you are beside me, holding me, protecting me.
Your name.
Slipping from me as a sigh as the tears slide down my face
as your ride away to the north.
Away from me.
your name
will always be on my lips.
in my mind
in my soul
