My Sun

I looked up after years of walking with my head to the ground.

The sun didn't shine.

But as I walked further,
I saw the sun that looked right back at me.

He said, it's okay to walk alone.
So I walked further and further,
towards him, away from myself.

The sun didn't smile,
he didn't shine.

But I walked towards him anyway,
a place which I couldn't see.

The person who I couldn't touch.
But I walked further and further.

Because, its okay to walk alone.

I didn't know the future,
but I knew the past.

The past where the sun seemed closer, yet it never was.

But I was the one who went further.

Towards him or away, I didn't know.

I still don't.

But I walked anyway,
hoping to feel his warmth, up closer and closer I walked.

I wanted to burn in his warmth.
I wanted to melt in his embrace.
I wanted to die in his arms.

But he never came to me.

As I walked towards him,
He said, it's okay to walk alone.

And so I ran and ran till my feet hurt.

I wanted him to hold me.
I wanted him to kiss me goodbye.

Though he never came.
He said, it's okay to walk alone.

So I walked today too,
But the reality catched up to me.

And before I could reach you,
I fell, and as I fell,
I saw the tears pouring up from the sky.

The last time I saw, the orange which changed into a deep red.

The warmth that I felt when I closed my eyes.

Why did I run so much?

When you were here when I closed my eyes.

And as you hugged me, I felt the peace seep out of you and into me.

A tear and a smile.

A laugh and a cry.

It was okay to walk alone.

It's okay to walk alone.

It's okay to walk alone/ My Sun

Do you ever feel empty even when you're full? You have everything and yet you feel like you have nothing? The empty pit in me, I don't know how to fill it.

Plus, why am I so sentimental all the time?
It's annoying.
