I Used To Watch The Sun Rise

 

I used to watch the sun rise,
 As I sat in my balcony chair,
 I’d close my eyes and hug my knees,
 Imagining you were there.

I still remember the smiles it brought,
 And somehow I wish you knew,
 I’d awake with the sweetest thought,
 That I’d start my day with you.

 I used to turn the lights off,
 And curl up every night in bed,
 As thoughts of my precious sunrise,
 Ran restlessly through my head.

 Now I awake to rays of golden sun,
And always seem to find,
Another day and a noisy street,
The sun rise far behind.

So sad and yet so true to me. I do something similar to this, still, almost everyday.

Wonderfully written!!

A very bitter sweet write... to finally let go of a loved one you know will not be returning is tough but you put it so eloquently for such a heartbreaking piece.
