The light in the dark

As the light streams in through the window

With my eyes closed I draw the curtain on the world

I don’t hesitate, I don’t wait.

I go back to bed

and lie between the soft blankets:

they are so similar to your arms...

it was a sweet reminder

that you hugged me, held me

even when I was falling apart.

The other day, I saw a dream...

You were still alive

Even though it felt so true

I had to leave you behind.

I’ve missed your soul,

it didn’t charge mine anymore.

I’ve kissed your cheek

And had to say goodbye.
