The sun still sleeps

as a dark horizon waits

for the
light of its morning

to illumine its world in beauty,

when I see your eyes open
and realize

mine has arrived first

Working during daylight
Studying late night

Away from home
Makes me feel alone

Black circles under my eyes
Doing my best not to cry

There are times I almost gave up
There are times I wished I could go back

But the wind always whispers something
"You've come too far, you're almost there"

A flicker of smile
My hope didn't die
Almost there, almost. No matter what the result is, I will be proud of myself.
You
you left
you left me
without a reason
without a sound
without a word
you just got up
and walked out
out of my life
out of my house
you left
now im sitting here
asking myself
over and over
why?
why me?
what did i do?
why?
what went wrong?
can i fix it?
can i help you?
can we get back together?
but i know the answer
without asking
no
no
no
no
that word replaying in
my head over and over
no
but i still dont know why
you left me
but i want you to know
ill always
and i mean always
love you
take care.

Even the tiniest show
of affection from her
is always the biggest
part of my day
