For now

When words are final
and your eyes have gone
and there’s nothing more
you nor I could have done;
when my hand is tired,
but I just can’t fall asleep
and memories are coming,
going and cutting in deep;
in this aching silence
I’m raging, crying, but I’ll survive,
knowing time is still on our side.
For now, I can only whisper
“I love you” softly into the night.
