I wrote in the dark when the world was asleep,
With secrets and promises I wanted to keep.
I thought I was singing to a vast, empty hall,
Tracing my shadows on a crumbling wall.
But then, one by one, the lanterns flickered on,
Ten thousand twin stars before the bright dawn.
Through the eyes of my readers, my world started to turn,
With a fire of passion that continues to burn.
Ten thousand gazes on the lines of my soul,
Making my broken heart finally feel whole.
You saw the lightning and you heard the rain,
You shared in my joy and you felt every pain.
From the hills of my home to the screens in your hand,
We've built a small kingdom in a digital land.
This isn't just paper or a tally of views,
It's the rhythm of hearts that I'd never want to lose.
To every soul who found a home in my verse,
Thank you for braving this vast universe.
Ten thousand thank-yous, like petals in flight,
For keeping me company through the long night.
