Told by a speaker who misses someone they haven't seen in a while, the poem opens with a quiet ache: another day passes without a glimpse of that person's smile. The speaker remembers their eyes as ocean-like, so deep that they could look into them all day and night. That image suggests both calm and a kind of longing, as if the speaker could get lost there.
Then comes a small shift. The person's hair used to be long and hazel, but now it is cut short and raven-colored. The speaker notices the change, and it hints that time has passed or that the person is different from the one remembered. The poem ends with a gentle request: to watch the stars until dawn and help each other find a "haven," a safe place. The mood is tender, wistful, and hopeful. The speaker seems to want closeness and comfort, not just to see the person again.
