Day 2562, slowly.

Slowly I wait  
for the sunset to bring 
you
the darkness of the night 
your voice
when you see me
soon
not far from where I am

I realize
now
you were never gone

What is this about, if you don’t mind me asking? I got the sense that you were not talking about a person, but I would really like to know. Is it directed at the darkness itself? Or a person? Or… I don’t know.. it is very well written, which is why it is bothering me, I feel stupid for not getting who it is directed to..

Glad you like it. I use my daily picture as a inspiration. In this case the sunset brings a long awaited passenger on the little boat you see. I live far away from my family and the moment I see them in the distance after a long time apart, time seems to collapses as if we never were seperated. But I hope I have left some room for other interpretation…
