The Mystery of You

The Mystery of You

By Nick Aitoro

You are the mystery
I long to understand—
more vast, more vital
than all the secrets of the universe.

As time moves slowly,
the questions of life unfold—
but none linger
like the wonder of you.

Since the beginning of our time,
you’ve occupied a quiet corner of my mind,
a presence both distant and near,
always just beyond full knowing.

You are the question
I return to the stillness,
the riddle I treasure
more than any truth the stars could offer.

Yes—
you are the mystery
I desire to understand,
more meaningful than all others,
timeless in your gravity.
