“And today I saw the sunset from one of the best locations I could, it was an arduous process to see the setting sun and not reminisce of the times we had seen it together, yet it still looked the most beautiful, even without you.”
“Today, I saw the sunrise light up the sky from my bed at the corner of my room, and although it hurt to look at the rising sun while trying not to think of all the tomorrows we won’t have, it still looked hopeful, even without you.”
“And today I saw the sun set from my bedroom window, diminishing light giving way to the orangish glow soon to be faded, I felt heavy as another day ended, and thoughts encircling all that we couldn’t be, I hoped for better tomorrows, even without you.”
“Today, I saw the sun rise from atop a hill overlooking a view, and as the horizon gave way for light to shine through, I felt a small whisper of hope as I saw the world was still beautiful, even without you.”
“And today I saw the sun set in the rearview mirror as I drove back home where you no longer awaited my return, and yet as the sun’s rays waned into the darkness I felt a certain calm, even without you.”
“Today, I saw the sun rise across the pavement as I carried my bags filled with memories of us to my car, and as I drove away from the home we made and shared, it felt safe to someday love again, even without you.”
“And today I saw the sun set as I entered the place where you used to wait with open arms, emptiness greeted me, as daylight dwindled into a darkness, which for once I embraced, even without you.”
“Today, I saw the sun rise across the tiles of my new living room, empty except for a couch made for two, and as I stood by the door taking in the view, I saw the start of something new, even without you.”
“And today I saw the sun set over my bedroom window as I prepared my dinner, without you to guide me I burned my hand, albeit the pain was nothing as compared to that of losing you, still it was bearable, even without you.”
“Today, I saw the sun rise over the kitchen as I made breakfast, unwittingly setting a table for two, and although the sight me stop, felt my breath catch, I learned I could carry on, even without you.”
“And today I am seeing the sun set in front of my eyes, which have tears that won’t stop, I’ve finally started living, for the first time, even without you.”
“Today, I’m seeing the sun rise in front of my eyes, and in one breath of fresh morning air, I let you go and finally start living again, even without you.”

Because the one thing they don’t tell you about writers is that it’s all they are.
You start with a pen and paper and then the ink is in your veins and books are your heart and the only thing you breathe is literature. The words become your soul and poetry coats your skin
