You were young and free
Eyes untainted and in glee.
The stars glow
Underneath the shadow.
Trinkets of hello kitty
You would get giddy.
Oh but in your youth
The sad reality and truth,
Crippled the innocent smiles
Thousands and thousands of miles.
The skies that used to be pink
Are now dim in a sudden blink.
It was not supposed to happen
A girl holding on so much burden.
You held on to a glimmer of hope
That one day you will cope.
Time made you stronger and beautiful
Steadfast and the past became minuscule.
You exude quiet and calm confidence
Alluring humbly beaming oppulence.
Today when you close your eyes
Heart filled with love, blue skies.
More exquisite than before
Tears gone, happiness underscore.
The pink skies return
And only love governs.
The tides have turned,
Bridges unburned.
How fortunate was I
To see the immense beauty, no lie.
You hold this subtle power
I am in a daze, no wonder.
Never have I imagined
My nonchalance is forgotten.
I am indeed beholden
A soulmate in you, I've woken.
You have found solace
No more fear you embrace.
Every night when you close your eyes
It takes you to a paradise.
