From Dusk Till Dawn

I stayed up from dusk till dawn, just for a fleeting moment weariness caught on…

I had woken up into a new day, but it was still dark. I couldn’t yet see the face for which I had stayed up till dawn…

Just a spoiled moment in a lifetime of joy and I feared it was all gone…

You stopped smiling and I could feel the loss, I couldn’t bear to see that face fade away into the absence of light, buried my f ace in my palms, confused by my plight…

Just a silhouette though it now seemed, how could I forget it had colored my life, the color of love, the color of breathe, the color of fate, the color of dreams, the color of the future…

If only for a moment, how could all these colors be gone, mixed together to make the color of dawn…

Waiting for morning, for the smile, the warmth, the love to return, “Us” to return like the rays of the sun, a spectrum and yet one…

The happiness touching all, I plead I never again have to stay up from dusk till dawn…
