The Difference Between “Missing You” and “Saudade”

In the sonnet “Missing You,” I delve into the depths of the universal feeling of longing. The soft and persistent pain that invades the heart in moments of solitude and absence is here transformed into words that echo like a whisper in the night. This poem explores the strength of a love so intense that time and distance cannot erase. Through subtle images of darkness and hope, I invite the reader to feel the duality of longing, where longing is both a pain and a flame that illuminates the darkest hours.

Missing you is a whisper in the night,
A soft pain that invades the heart,
Knowing that you are far away, without a scourge,
With hope for the morning, in the light.

But longing burns the soul with fury,
It is a storm that tears the world apart,
A longing that time does not embrace,
Eternal wound, never without ardor.

Missing you, a soft and tender pain,
A candle that lights the darkest hour,
And that is extinguished at the break of eternal light.

Longing, passion that devours in flames,
Endless yearning, of pure strength,
Love that not even time can extinguish and exploit.

Final Thought:

As we conclude this journey of longing and love, it becomes clear that the absence of someone special is never a complete absence. It is a presence transformed into desire, a feeling that warms and consumes at the same time. The sonnet reminds us that even in the darkness of separation, there are lights of hope, and that true love, however painful it may be, is eternal, resisting time and distance. May we all find solace in the eternal flame of longing, knowing that it is living proof of an inextinguishable love.
