Bedroom window,
facing East,
I'll open my curtains before I go to sleep.

Sunlight pours onto my bed in the morning,
waking me with its warm and gentle touch.
If I open my eyes,
it will shatter the hope that it might be your breath,
and such a realization would be too much...
I never want to wake up and deal with the real world without you, wonder love.
I'll lie here just a little longer again,
and savor the moment until the sun begins to burn my skin.

I never considered the wind a "friend",
yet I whisper your name to her under the light of the moon,
and tell her my story of a love that was lost too soon,
in hopes that some day,
wherever you are,
she may carry my message to you,
whether you be near or far.
"Today is another day to find you."
