Glow

She told me I glowed.
That I illuminated everything around me with light.
That I was her beacon at night and
Her  reason to fight for happiness.
That I made the mess less.
She told me I shined like the country thick sun
Setting on the horizon.
That I was the lighthouse on the dock
And she the ship steadying itself
In choppy waters.
That I was the second hand on the clock.
Consistently moving forward.
Not too fast.
Not too slow.
Just the right pace.
She said I put a smile on her face.
That my smile set ablaze to her heart
And
She wanted to be a part of that.
Now she wants to be apart from that.
How does one embark from that?
Wh y would you want a fresh start from that?
I don't know.
She doesn't realize...
She was the reason for
My glow.
