All alone

Today I learnt to cry alone,

Soon I’ll learn to live alone too..

 

Walking through the grass

Running on the fields

Climbing the mountains

You were always a shield...

 

Never imagined a life without you,

Neither in dreams we were away,

In laughter in tears I was with you,

I was with you each night each day,

 

From feeling of hope to thought to love,

Each day it continued to grow,

It’s hard to imagine love can die too,

This thought makes me feel so low.

 

I couldn’t sleep away from your arms,

With you emotionally I grew,

But today I learnt to cry alone,

Soon I’ll learn to live alone too..

Sad, full of feeling. Thing to remember is that you yourself have value, to others, yes - but also to yourself.
