so now i see the sun,
rising upon the horizon,
waking up from a blinking sleep,
whispering the promise of a golden day.

you know, i remember a day like this,
when you held my hand,
and we walked the streets,
ushering in a joyous new day.

i think of another day like this,
when you uttered empty promises,
letting me bask in the void of your grace,
till the sun gave way to the moon.

a third day comes to mind,
when your essence touched mine,
and you wove delicate white lies,
right into the veins of my soul.

the sky explodes in glorious rain,
the pearls of its sadness drowning me whole,
and thus, when the natural meets the human,
❝i realise just how important truth is to a lie.❞
