And I Thought Of You...

Today I saw the stars,

And I thought of you.

They seemed so far,

But it brightened my night.

Today I smelled the scent of a rose,

And I thought of you.

The thorns pricked,

But the pain it left was sweet.

Today I walked down our old path,

And I thought of you.

The road was sad and lonely,

But our happy memories filled every corner of it.

Today I heard our old song,

And I thought of you.

The words were melancholic,

But the music lifted my spirits.

Today I sat next to the sea,

And I thought of you.

The water was cold,

But every wave was a jolt of reality.

Today it rained for the first time this year

And I thought of you.

The skies were dark, rain thundering away,

But it drenched me with hope.
