A Silver Lining

An old feeling revisted

I was left in my solitude

Reminiscing on the memories

left behind by those who promised to stay

Wondering if I ever wanted my life in two.

Maybe I was searching for something.

Maybe I was yearning for someone.

Maybe all I wanted was some peace

Or maybe a sanctuary?

Conversations under the streetlight.

The sound of the rain as the night faded away

Just like that one song,

It felt like an apocalypse.

Like a ray of sunlight on a cold day

Like a well-lit candle on a cold night

The touch of your sweet embrace,

a warmth I have never felt before

Reflections. It is evident from the final stanza, that someone had a really positive effect on the author. An uplifting feeling of warmth not experienced before. Their absence hurts. Nicely composed lines Apple.
