No Clouds in Sight by Anonymous

My day was bright,
no clouds in sight.
Everything warm and blue,
I even played with my kite.
I thought your sky was also blue,
but you first had some dew,
then it started raining
and ruined your view.
The temperature was rising
but you were indifferent.
Upon us came the evening
and you got lost
in your own incompetence.
Then,
I told you to go east,
but you headed west
and found a new land,
where you could rest.
I couldn’t find you.
My clear day became murky.
In vain, I tried harder to make it evident,
less friendly, or platonic.
More lovely and romantic.
I’m not as happy now – I miss you
But you can’t tell
you’re so far away
and I’ve slowly been led astray.
I fail to hope
that I’ll be seen through fog
but I pray endlessly to mother nature
for an opportunity,
or maybe,
that it’s all acknowledged,
but I won’t be discouraged.
It should have been clear as day.
You should have been aware
and figured what to say.
No clouds in sight
but you made it pour
Because you started to dance
for your inconspicuous cure.
The past is the past.
You’ve found your oasis.
While I sit in a desert,
wishing for catharsis.
