THE SUN WENT BEHIND THE CLOUDS

That day felt like a dream come true,

Making me believe in magic and miracles,

When I saw you within my hands’ reach,

Oh, how happy I was!

That moment of euphoric bliss.

Neither did I realize how MUCH I’ve missed you,

Nor how much I was holding back.

The dam was opened,

All the pain and worries of the past months came flooding.

Seeing you set my world in its axis,

Like a bird freed from its cage.

There is this little girl within me,

Who comes out only when you’re with me.

Do you even know how it felt?

You would never,

Because I would never let you know.

It was suffocating,

When I think about us,

Every minute feels miserable without you.

I feel the safest in your arms,

It might be because,

You were such an upright person,

Like a strong tree,

That won’t bend or break when strong winds blow,

You never took help from anyone,

And tried to bear all the burden alone.

When you’re by my side,

I can lift the weight off my shoulders,

I feel the most loved.

What could possibly be greater than the happiness a family gets from staying together?

The world thinks otherwise,

Now, I must face all the strong currents alone, Dad.

The light at the end of the tunnel is gone,

The sun went behind the clouds,

And my life is gloomy, again.
