In a world of shadows, dull and gray,
Life felt like a long, endless day.
Each moment drifted, devoid of grace,
A canvas blank, an empty space.
I wandered through streets, echoes of time,
Where dreams lay dormant, and silence would chime.
The sun would rise, yet bring no light,
And hopes were cloaked in endless night.

Days blurred together, a monotonous hue,
Each heartbeat muted, a rhythm askew.
The laughter of children, a distant refrain,
As I walked through a landscape of unspoken pain.
Each dream I once held seemed distant and faint,
A palette of wishes, an artist's complaint.
The world spun around me, vibrant and bright,
Yet I felt like a ghost, lost in the night.

But then you came, like a vibrant spark,
A brush of color in the deep, endless dark.
Your presence was magic, a whimsical tide,
Pulling me closer, igniting the pride.
With every glance, you painted my skies,
Adding brilliance where once were only sighs.
Your laughter echoed like a sweet melody,
Unraveling the threads of my muted symphony.

You opened doors to worlds unknown,
In your company, I felt less alone.
Each smile a hue, each word a shade,
With you beside me, my fears began to fade.
From the gentle whispers of a lavender breeze,
To the fiery oranges...
