Misplaced word for Devotion

The days I don’t
talk to you-

I fill stardust in
the gaps left by the 
stars that died.
and you wink.

I make crafts out
of clouds, and
it rains rhyming
your shape.

I whisper your name
to the sparrows,
and their songs feel
personal now.

I trace your silence
on window fog,
watch it fade into
a fragrance-
It reminds me of a 
place only we know.

The days I don’t
talk to you- the sun 
looks overworked.
the day turns dull 
and by night-

on the ripples of 
my sleep, I write 
your name with the
Moonlight-

and when I fold my 
loneliness into
paper boats of memory,
to let them drift
towards your dreams-

only if you could look
at the sky once-

You’d know that 
distance is just a 
polite word misplaced
for devotion, and silence, 
a language we both 
still speak.
