He is gone.
Him who I have loved for what seems an eternity.
He is drastically different from the one man I had looked to for everything.
For love.
For understanding.
For friendship.
Why is it then, that now even when I am trying the most
I'm finding it so hard to love
I knew the struggle that was to come
I knew the sun would mix with clouds in the
tumultuous cycle of love
Daylight is fading though, and the morning has disappeared beneath a
grim and stormy night.
When love calls, do not heed him in haste.
Question him and peer beneath the shine
to see what sort of rot you'll find.
Find the ugly underneath, and love it too.
For that is what the test will be.
If you can;
build your dreams together.
But if you see that the grim overshadows the beauty you hold dear
Rewrite the ending to the love story you've made...
The End.
