Lonely Sunrise

How romantic this could be
if it were you and me
instead of only me
breathing in the fresh morning air.
The sounds of life
creeping up to meet the sun.
As lonely as it may seem
the church bells
keep me company.
And the candles flicker
with every breath of the
morning's breeze.
If it were you and me
instead of only me,
I think I'd only be
less satisfied
less likely to notice
how beautiful it is
when the sun rises.
