159 Days

159 days is a short time compared to a lifetime but the joy felt like we had been together forever.

Together we spent 159 days

Holding hands and saying how one means to the other.

It all feels like a daze,

I tried so hard to make sure you weren’t smothered.

In 159 days, I discovered a piece to me

You showed me a light in the sky never thought of existing.

Our relationship is over sadly,

It’s left me with a permanent sting.

My love for you hasn’t dissipated

You cloud my mind all the time.

I have been dragged to the corner of my inner thoughts to feel shrouded.

With you, I was in my prime.

I have loved you for more than 159 days

I called you my sunshine for a reason.

I hope you see my love for you still displays,

Being with you brought my soul to feel completion.
