Loneliness

Happiness that was long forgotten

Mind clouded by mist of depression

Despair that crushed my heart

And still I never realized how lonely I was

Never once did I hear myself 

cry out loud for help

The pain that I had within

hidden with a smile as superficial it was

Like the dusk carrying the burden

of a day that has died

I roamed around with sorrow hidden

And still I never realized how lonely I was

The day I saw you 

Like a sunrise in a wintry day

The light and joy that you cast upon

Is something I would never forget

I remember how we talked

Like we have known each other for eons past

Never did I feel so happy

Never before I realized how lonely I was

You drove the darkness away

You were the light that pierced through the fog

You were the angel I was waiting for

Though I never had realized how lonely I was

Your smile gives me strength unmeasurable

Your eyes tell me a happy story

Now when I look at you and smile

I finally realize how lonely I was
