You

You were once my rising and setting

What held together my very being

When the dawn came to surpass all darkness-

It was because of you.

When my heart beat right on course

To the rhythm of your name

My steps-yes-to that very same rhythm

Your lips softness brushed across mine by the wind

I gladly awoke to face another day

It was because of you.

As the wind, without a trace you went away

Now, my sun has set to arise never more

All.. because of you.
