Someone

I felt my heartbeat and I knew I was alive

you made me feel that way

Something changed when you arrived

Even if the days were still gray

I slept beside you until the touch of the sun

and knew that I had found someone

I felt my heartbeat and I knew I was alive

But you took that away

Now I feel like I'm breathing but all air is denied

Neither of us understood what the other tried to say

I laid awake beside you until the touch of the sun

and I knew that I had lost someone

I felt my heartbeat and I knew I was alive

You made me feel that way

I had someone I loved by my side

So all my worries were led astray

I slept beside you until the touch of the sun

and knew that I had found someone

I felt my heartbeat and I knew I was alive

But you took that away

How can you lose something you keep safe inside

Is this the price we have to pay

I laid awake beside you until the touch of the sun

and I knew that I had lost someone

Love found then lost. A sad but all too common tale. It's what happens when you get touched by the sun.
As always, beautifully written. Thank you !

Wow, powerful words! It brought about quite a few unwanted memories in me, which, to say, shows the power in your words. Wonderful job, i truly enjoyed this.
