A Morning like this
On a morning like this
when the sun peeks over the horizon
with warmth and grace
I awake alone
again
waiting for our paths to cross
on a morning like this
when the air smells of hope
My heart is incomplete
Mariya
Mariya
Who has come into my life when i wasn’t looking
Who has broken my walls before i put them up
Mariya
Who has known me before I’ve known her
Who smiles an infectious smile
Mariya
Who I want to know like the grooves in my hand
Who I want to love like I’ve never loved
Who is
Mariya
D
Her smile lights up rooms
tenderness hidden behind layers of protection
she was mine
once
I was careless with our love
as a child who’d never learned
once
that smile was feet from me
I like to think I was the reason for it
sometimes
Separate paths once again
we walk
that smile
I’ll never forget
How butterflies were common
because of her
once
