This morning I woke and the Sun was gone

This morning I woke and the sun was gone,​

Alone in darkness through which light had once shone​

​

I reached for you to comfort me,​

But in place all I found was a memory​

​

I remember good times and places we went,​

How I’ve loved you and each moment we’ve spent​

​

Piercing the gloom I see your face,​

And in my heart I’ll keep a place​

​

A place in time so I’ll never forget,​

How special it felt the moment we met​

​

Love truly is blind this I can see,​

For somehow I thought you could also love me​

​

Now it seems I must let you go,​

It hurts so much but it’s better I know​

​

Trying to keep you is like caging a bird,​

With wings to soar it would be absurd​

​

I’ll wait for you for as long as I can,​

And for the day we fly together again​

Missing you,​

Michael​
