Life....



In the morning the sun rises casting soothing rays of light on two strangers faces. A smile crosses their lips as they become gently drawn into each other’s eyes.

By the afternoon the sun has moved swiftly across the sky high above the trees, moving ever so much closer to the horizon. The two still drawn together have made an unspoken promise to cherish each other’s presence. Each one feeling that the other is as precious as the light that is slowly fading.

One stretches their arm out to reach for the other’s hand as the sky turns to darkness. Heart pounding loudly in their chest as if trying to beat it’s way to freedom. Breathless, the lone person turns frantically trying to find light through the darkness in hopes to locate the out stretched hand.

Night has set. Just as reality seeps in to awaken one from their sleepless nights only to see the lonely darkness surrounding them.

Was this just a dream?

Nice. U make me abbreviate and capitalize random letters. What kind of hurry must a person be in to need to abbreviate the word 'you'? Just two extra letters!

So I seem to have the original manuscript of this poem written on a pink piece of paper, I kept reading it trying to figure out why it was so familiar...
