What’s the one luxury you can’t live without?

How about a poem instead?

In the twilight’s tender hush, where shadows meet the glow,
Your eyes, like distant stars, beckon with a silent plea,
A yearning deep and quiet, where only silence knows,
Yet my heart is bound by chains of what might one day be.

Your words, a whispered promise, float on autumn’s breath,
Each syllable a feathered touch, soft against my soul,
Yet I, a wayward traveler, wander paths of solitude,
Unable to step into the light your presence might console.

The night is filled with echoes of dreams we dared to weave,
In moments caught between the world of waking and the sleep,
You stand, a steadfast beacon, in the mist of morning dew,
But I, a fleeting shadow, am lost within the deep.

Your hands, they reach through darkness, like the dawn’s first kiss,
To brush against the barriers my heart has built so high,
Yet fear, like ancient armor, holds me in its cold embrace,
And love, a distant echo, remains a muted sigh.

There’s a fire in your gaze, a promise of tomorrow,
But my feet are tangled in the roots of yesterday,
I long to move towards you, to let the past unbind,
Yet caution holds me back, and so I cannot stay.

Oh, how I wish to tell you of the storm within my chest,
Of the longing and the sadness, of the hope and the despair,
But words are fragile vessels, and my voice cannot betray,
The depths of my confusion, the fear that I lay bare.

So wait, if you have patience, by the shore of time’s vast sea,
For one day I may find the strength to walk upon the waves,
To meet you in the sunlight, where our hearts might beat as one,
But for now, I must remain within these shadowed caves.

Know that in my silence, there’s a love that seeks the dawn,
And in the quiet moments, your name is all I speak,
For though I cannot join you in the daylight of your dreams,
In the darkness, I am yours, though my heart remains asleep.
