you

When the shadows were too long
the road seemed too long
every step was blocked by a stone
I was in a crowd but completely alone.

You came out of nowhere and started to walk
beside me, holding my hand in your hand
my heart in your heart and soul in your soul
you became the oasis in that never-ending sand.

we walked together for miles,
every time I stumbled your hand pulled me back
to my feet again with a smile
every moment we spent together flew away.

Then life took a sad turn,
our paths parted,
you went your way, I went mine
but whenever I lose my light
I know your invisible light will burn
