Have I stopped to take in the spray of the surf or the scent of the salt air?
Have I relished the sound of rain on the roof, or a fireplace embers’ glow at night?
Have I cherished a lover’s touch or lingered over the bliss that only real love can give?
Not since you.
You were my safe haven; there to protect me from the world. The night held no fear for me as long as you were by my side. Can I face the sunrise with anticipation? Or plan my tomorrows now?
Not since you.
