Like the Trail of a Comet Dissolving into Darkness

[L'absent]

At the end of my life, there was only one love,
a love that burned like a fire with no escape,
a fire that consumed everything,
that asked for no permission, that claimed everything, without shame, without end.
Every breath I took was for him,
every beat of my heart echoed his name,
because he was my breath, my flesh,
he was the lifeblood that made me live,
he was everything I had,
everything I desired.
On the days when the world separated us,
I couldn't sleep,
I lost myself in his absence,
I searched for his face in the dark,
I knew his smile would return,
and when the morning came,
he was the one who made it shine,
with a single glance, with a single gesture.
And I, who lived only for that moment,
for his presence,
for the intensity of his eyes.
We didn't need words,
every silence between us was charged with an energy that knew no limits,
every touch was an explosion,
every caress a universe being born,
and I asked for nothing,
because I knew that in that gesture, there was everything,
everything the heart could desire,
everything the mind could comprehend.
When the pain of separation became unbearable,
I ran to him,
with my heart beating so fast it seemed it might break.
But it didn't matter,
because the love that united us had no fear,
it knew no limits,
it never stopped.
And when we found each other again,
it was as if the whole world exploded,
an explosion of passion, of life,
a wave that overwhelmed every resistance.
Now, looking back at the past,
I know there was nothing truer,
nothing more powerful than that bond.
And even though time has separated us,
even though life has taken us far apart,
that bond never died,
it's inside me,
it's in every breath,
in every beat of my heart.
Because when love is like that,
it never ends,
it can never end.
And its shadow will remain forever,
its light will guide me,
because he was everything.
And I was everything to him.
Goodbye forever, my love.
There is no more room for our meeting,
but my heart will keep you eternal,
in dreams, in memories, in my veins.
You've disappeared, but I never give up,
because a love like ours cannot vanish,
it cannot ever die.
It will remain here, in the silence of every night,
in the folds of every day to come,
and it will always live in me.
In the final moments of my life,
I will carry you with me,
until my consciousness abandons me completely.
Then everything will fade,
even whatever made peace,
any memory,
but in the final darkness,
I will know that every moment lived with you
was a love that will never die,
even if everything ceases to exist,
our love,
our memory,
will be all that remains.
