how many times have you said i love you
while they weren’t listening?
how long have you stared at them
wishing you were close, just enough to cling?

i remember fearing the night
along with the tears that came with it.
slowly, i learned how to cope
with guilt and agony tagging along

i watch as the daylight shines,
igniting the light and faith in me.

i listen as the rain hits the roof,
realizing that i am losing myself in the calmness.

i lose hope as the candle that was giving me light,
now lost its spark, leaving me in the dark.

i search as i see you slowly fade away,
my heart longing to be in your arms.

i cling as our memories replay by itself,
remembering our laughter and smiles are gone.

i smile as i’ve always wanted a happy ending,
but now, i’ll settle for only an ending.

he reminds me of the color yellow,
he who brings warmth and happiness  to every tomorrow
