i collect rays of sunlight from my days outdoors, and store pieces of the universe beneath my skin but still my golden light sometimes falls and get lost between cab seats so i wake up hung over, drunk with reminisce all my colored clothes are folded neat in the back of my closet for last spring i went a full 4 months without happy hues and newspapers lay unfolded, covered in dust on my shelves no, i wouldn't think of skimming them without you I stir my coffee and count minutes go by as I wait for proof that this solo is just temporary but you never sent a sign or gave me the time, so the absence of you is much too heavy to carry this waiting game is getting old, while I could be soaring alone but i hold my breath and pray for you to make it easy and come back home tomorrow I'll spread my wings and welcome fresh air, i think it's time i let you go i'll turn my hopeless wishes to euphoria and reap what i sow, something i should've done months ago. sunlight t.p
