Sentiments.

My entire life I hoped you existed
I dreamed of you every day,
Wishing you could float down from the sun
And become real, touching my face
Kissing me into safety, your gold tresses
Protecting me from the awful people in the world.

Everything you are,
Is everything I ever wanted
Everything in place, it all pulled together
You are the friend, the lover,
The eternal partner, the challenger
And even the wife.

Now, life feels off.
Your words no longer there,
The phrases, the tones I loved, gone.
Instead of your musical laughter,
Now there is silence,
Leaves gently dropping to the ground
Me staring at them quietly,
Wondering if I'll ever feel your love again someday.
