Before
you came into my life,
Everything
was black and white.
The sky
was a dreary grey,
And
everything seemed damp and cold.
The rain
pierced through me down to my core,
As I
faced it with my eyes wide open.
You came
in like a rainbow,
So high
up on the horizon.
Inconspicuous
to the oblivious,
And
enchanting to the observant.
It took
me sometime,
To feel
the magic of your presence.
But once
I did,
Nothing
was ever the same again.
Now there
were vibrant colours,
Dancing
around wherever I looked.
Seeing
them filled me with elation,
And their
brightness led to a revelation.
As they
shed light on a treasure, hidden.
The
treasure of feelings buried deep within.
Feelings
that I had never imagined,
I was
even capable of harboring.
Now I see
you in my dreams.
There too
being my companion.
Smiling,
strolling by the stream,
Or
climbing a hefty mountain.
The vivid
dreams are so cheerful.
Just like
the good, old days.
I extend
my arm to reach you in them.
As I wake
up and realize you aren't there.
A grin
lights up my countenance.
Because
the colours are as bright as ever.
I clench
my fist and hold it close to my heart,
And send
flying a silent prayer.
I
patiently wait for the time to come,
When I
will be able to see you again.
