The impatient lover

Time is slipping—
what will you do,
dear impatient lover?

Oh, restless hearts,
Time is not real.
Let us not turn this madness
into wildfire.
Instead, let it become
a cooling balm—
gentle, calm,
an ointment that heals us all.

Come. Sit.
Let us speak to ourselves.
Let us ask why
all impatient lovers
must learn
this quiet truth.

They told me once:
Love is a rush.
Love is scarce.
Love is instant.
Love is… everything and nothing.
But these are only illusions—
dramas we’ve written
to squeeze life
into time-bound boxes.

My dear, impatient lover—
Let me breathe.
Let me trace your footsteps.
Let me find you.
Let me know you—
slowly.
Let me fight you.
Let me adore you.
Let me love you.
This—this is the sacred work of living.

You cannot forge love.
You cannot will me
into a lover.
Let me be drawn—
not arranged,
not contracted.

We must hear
the music within music,
the echo inside echo,
and only then
can we rest on shoulders
strong enough to bear
the weight of our soul.

Togetherness,
true togetherness—
brings joy.
But never provoke love,
unless it's playful teasing.
And never—never—
lose hope.
Patience, not time,
is the measure.

Who cares if it’s this life
or the next?
What you seek
will find you.
Keep the flame burning.

Yes,
this flame—
it must live forever.
Let it light your dark places.
Let it be your guide.

Don’t lean too much
on others.
Find your footing,
and become aware
of what your soul truly needs.

Dear impatient lover,
watch the sky.
Don’t chase people
to plant joy inside you.

You—
you are what you are.
Stay far from those
who promise you happiness.
They may carry storms
in their hands.

I know—
the ache to be held,
to feel skin,
warmth,
affection,
the sweet illusion
of belonging,
of ease.

But if your heart is wandering,
too loud, too lost—
be still.
Watch the sky drift.
Feel the river speak.
Let nature remind you:
even emptiness is full
of sacred knowing.

You are not ready,
my impatient lover.
Time won’t heal you.
But death—
death will.

Let go.
Stop rushing.
Let your heart guide you.
If you lose the way,
come back to me.

I will be your light.
