It was like sunlight on my skin that woke me sleeping. You said you loved me, I was yours for your safe keeping. I loved you then, I loved you all along. You went to play my heartstrings like you always knew the song.
Dark returned when you were gone, and you're still going. All that used to keep me warm was knowing that a part of you had loved me all along. The silence of my heartstrings soon became the saddest song.
In waiting, I found sun upon my shoulders. It felt almost like your whisper in my ear. It warmed my spine to tingling, like you'd told me the words I just as soon would never hear.
My mind is wide awake now. Thanks for leaving me, with lessons from the fables you proved true. My heartstrings did fall quiet when you left me but the next time they are played won't be for you.
