This time last year
when he was here
skies stayed bluer,
dawnings newer,
horizons clearer,
and distance nearer.
Clouds looked whiter,
sunset brighter,
dreams were sweeter,
night held no fear.
Life seemed exciting,
smiles spread wider,
sighs lost meaning,
tears disappeared.
Dark days grew fewer,
hope flowed truer,
dreams became deeper,
believing easier.
A future shone lighter,
love felt so right,
this time last year,
when he was here.
