Before you went away

I wake up at the break of dawn. the sun light fills my room I look out at the wonderous view and its glow that feels so warm. and then I remember we used to share this wonderous time of day but that was then and this is now Before you went away. I sit in the cold kitchen coffee in my mug, remembering your first kisses remembering your tight hug. Remembering the teasing words youd say and the "Love you's" that you'd say words from the past in better times Before you went away. Im not sure where it all went wrong there were no signs to see you said that I suffocated you and you wanted to be free, that knife its wound sharp and deep your words cut to bone I close my tear filled eyes once more my mind drifts far away thoughts back to the loving times Before you went away. I hear a beep from messenger and rush to grab my phone. but you're not there its just my mum and again im all alone. My mind drifts to another time and the "Love you's" that you'd say but that was then and this is now, before you went away. so I sit in this cold kitchen coffee in my mug, remembering your first kisses remembering your tight hug. Remembering the teasing words youd say and the "Love you's" that we'd say, but that was back in better times, Before you went away. I look out of the window the light is fading fast my mind remembering better times, and now the day has passed As the sun dips down behind the great oak tree where we shared love on many a day but that was then and this is now, before you went away. I sit in this cold kitchen coffee in my mug, remembering your first kisses remembering your tight hug. Remembering the teasing words of fun and the "love you" you would say all those things I long to hear Before you went away. But that was then and this is now before you went away.

A melodic ballad of angst! Love lost and longed for is very easy to mourn. Great job
