In the absence of the stars, he came
bringing the light. Yet the light is too bright
for me ‘cause I had been long burrowed in the dark.
He cherished me with his calming voice
and his gentle touch and I was slowly getting used to his light.
I guess I got too comfortable with his
sudden presence that I forgot if people may
come and go. Day by day his light dimmed
as it was putting some distances between us,
yet I didn’t realize it until his light was completely gone.
I lost in the thought of our what ifs
and what we could’ve been. The hollow of my heart
that once filled by his presence turned into a vacant universe.
Never did I know that the little beam of his light
immersed within me evermore.
