Analysis of Til You Return To Me
Through the window, sunlight burns into my mind
Like a warm memory
Of all the times
You held me.
As the sun goes down behind
The horizon, so do we,
Drawing blinds,
Lest the neighbors see.
Morning comes at an appointed time,
And both, we, rise separately.
Now, I wait and write in rhyme
Til you return to me.
