by JB Nuique
They need sunshine; they need rain
But everything seemed to be in chain.
They need a smile; they need some care
But everything left them in despair.
They want to cry; they want to die
For everything was a beautiful lie.
They want to run; they want to hide
But everything is against their side.
How can they love if there's no one to trust?
How can they live if they'll become a dust?
They pass like the wind that no one can see-
Hoping their absence will make you lonely.
They were lonely but were never alone.
They were sad but were never forlorn.
They come and go with their joyful smiles.
They wander worlds, hearts, and aisles.
