Sun and Clouds

A poem describing my feelings about my relationship

Sun and Clouds

I met you and I knew
Everything just clicked into place
I never thought it would happen
It felt like I was finally home
I was happy and everything was perfect I felt the sun

Then one day just for a split second a cloud came
But it was so quick to disappear I barely noticed
I didn’t even think about how it made me feel
The sun came and everything was perfect again

The clouds came and went but the sun always lasted longer
I barely noticed how it made me feel
The sun came and I thought everything was perfect again

Waking one morning I realised it was cloudy most days and there were only a few sunny days
It had been going on for so long I never realised how bad it made me feel
Everything was not perfect anymore

Night after night month after month I prayed to wake up to the sun but I never did
I noticed how bad it made me feel and life was not perfect
It took me a long time to accept the sun was gone for good
I stopped praying

One morning I craved the sun and said goodbye to the cloud
I went looking for the sun I craved
It was then I realised I didn’t need anyone to give me the sun
I was the sun

I am my own sun and my own cloud
I control it and I am happy because of me!
