The Letter
The day bleeds into night and the night into mornings,
But the thought of you never leaves my head.
The dates on the lily valleys and the tea cups we shared together
The sun now shines bright, reminding me of the shirt you once wore.
It shone and made you stand out like a little sunflower.
As the days go by, all I wish is for you to stay with me;
I see you fade away into the air.
The fluttering butterflies surround me, taking me back;
Everything reminds me of you.
I just want to run to you,
Wait for you at the riverside, the place where we met.
All I wish is for you to come back.
This day felt longer, more lengthier;
All I did was miss you,
Waiting for you to come back.
You never did, as the nights passed in silence and the days in chaos.
I needed one thing:
To hold your hand and never let go,
For you to say it’ll be okay.
I need you now and forever.
As I see the light shine over me,
Leading me again to the same valley of lilies,
And I am back in time holding you.
And as it comes, it vanishes;
I see you scatter in the sky.
Calling you out,
You are my light and I want you.
As the credits to the third film roll, I am already lost in you.
Thinking back, it was obvious you didn’t like the late nights.
Now I go back and wonder where it went wrong.
"Please stay with me" was all I could muster
As I broke down for you.
You were my light;
How we went from "you are" to "you were"
Doesn't sit well with me.
I miss you, I miss us.
All I wish is that,
At the end of this tunnel, is you waiting for me,
Giving me a chance to have you again.
As I write,
All I wish is for you to be mine.
