you



You were the lyrics that couldn’t be written
you were the first flower blooming on spring
you were the first raindrop after a long time of droughts

you were the first thought in my mind in the mornings
and the last in the nights
you were the song i couldn’t get out of my head

you were all of those things and more

you were my best friend
my lover
my shoulder to cry
my companion

so sad to know you are no longer any
