You by NES (best beach reads .txt) 📖

You

All the death that surrounds me,
the decay that compounds me,
and the long ago promise unkept;
All the courage discarded,
the sorrow I caused,
and the words I have spoken,
or not;
All the torture inflicted,
the madness I suffered,
and the screams I have shouted
and heard;
All this pain, and much more,
turns to a flicker of hope
bursting out
into millions of flames,

As you bring back the dream I had lost.

And the cold in my bones
makes me shiver with pleasure,
as my mind springs to life
with your image;
The unrest in my eyes
glows steadily bright,
as my skin’s overwhelmed
with your presence;
The despair in my thoughts
paints a picture of gold,
as your breath
is inflating my soul.
And my night turns to day,
as your sun shines upon me
in a sparkling beam
of light, full of joy.

As you bring back the dream I had lost.
