…and then there you were, Alone and lost and so perfect, The sun was suddenly brighter, The flowers smelled sweet, We could handle the little things, Anything thrown at us was brushed away,
But you took something from me, Was it time? Was it energy? Was it experience? I don’t know, The little things were never really little things, Brushing them away didn’t fix them, And then there I was, Alone. And so lost.
The winter draws closer and darker, Colder in the fray comes, The covers so warm and comforting, Just like the dark, No one can see you in the dark, Shrouded in the shadows, Enveloped by the blanket, But we must still emerge, From the warm and the dark, For dawn still rises, slowly, stubbornly.
I used to get scared of life without you in it, You meant the world to me and I didn’t know how to show you, Colour became bland, Taste became boring, Existence became benign, Life without you is not life,
I used to get scared of life without you in it, I would heard stories as a child about finding someone I can’t live without and I did, You were amazing, And then you left, I spiralled and I cried, Life without you is not life,
I used to get scared of life without you in it, My peers told me time would heal my wounds and that I would be okay, I explored and I adventured, I worked on myself to be who you wanted me to be, We reconnected for a moment and it was great, But life with you is not life,
I used to get scared of life without you in it, We may have meant to be together, Just not meant to last, Time has shown me self love is true love, Existence has so much beauty that needs to be unlocked, Life without myself is not life.
