My joy turned pain.

Deep wonderful flashes of you I carry in my head,
Sweet beautiful memories of you I Harbour in my heart,
Now clouded by shadows and darkness,
As you disappear to reappear no more.

I know the weather could be rough or cool,
Charged with thunder dark or cold,
Even when the fire is lacking fuel,
To my heart great mysteries hold.

Mysteries I still can't explain,
A mixture of joy and pain.
Then creeps in my wish,
Wishing I could start all over again.

Wishes are what I've been up to lately,
Wishes that won't change anything,
Wishing that I go through this path again,
And then I realize these wishes could lead me astray,
For this is reality staring me in the face.
