Because







because
i have not been happy for a long time
you allowed the sunshine to burst through the clouds
peeling away the grey clouds presenting me with
crystal clarity
i hope you never stop doing this for me
because
without it I am lost

  6. the poem is a contrast to the opera.
    with blue skies and sunlight we are lucky
    to live in such a beautiful world.

  9. it's those last few lines that really nails this for me- 'without it/you- I am lost'- that is what makes this so beautifully sad- beauty in the power and strength of our relationships, sad in the suffering we go through- great poem
