Because of You

I dreamed of dusk swallowing the day, the other night.

only I was all alone.

So, I didn't hear any sounds, this time...

..I couldn't feel the cool evening air...

..and I didn't enjoy the colors of the sunset.....at all.

Because I didn't have you there, with me.

I thought of you, the other night;

all alone, in the quiet hours of my solitude.

I couldn't help but remember your laughter...

..the look you gave me, when I teased you...

..or the way your hair framed your face...

..and everything else that I should've shared with you and didn't.

That's my problem, now.

Because gone is my chance to compliment you...

..gone is my chance to linger with your spirit...

..and gone are all my chances to hold you...

..and to tell you that you were the one constant in my life.

My anchor...that kept me believing in all possibilities...

..and my reason for laughing at the stormy clouds of fate...

..crying at the touching scene of a movie...

..and sharing what I had, when I really couldn't afford it.

You were always there when it was sometimes doubtful if I was...

..and I can only hope that I meant a fraction of what you meant to me.

So happy is the color of my soul.....because of you.
