I look up at the blue skies and the bright sun.
I look at my lover holding my hand and I can feel all the love in his eyes.
I see my mom and dad holding hands as they walk down the street together.
I see my younger siblings playing around and and my elder sister preparing her fiancee's breakfast.
But
The reality is.....
There no blue skies and bright sun but the lonely darkness.
There's no hand holding mine apart from my own.
There's no mom and dad holding hands anymore.
There are no siblings around.
It's just a loud silence in my reality living with me and my sweet but painful memories.
