Total Eclipse of the Heart

You were once the sun I never thought could set, the warmth upon my face, the light I would not forget. Then something moved between us — slowly, without a sound — until the love that lit my world was swallowed by the dark. And there I stood, beneath a blackened sky, wondering how something so beautiful could disappear without ever leaving. That is heartbreak. Not the absence of love, but love still burning somewhere you cannot reach. A sun behind a shadow. A prayer without an answer. A heart remembering warmth while learning how to live inside the cold. I thought the darkness meant the light was gone. But an eclipse does not destroy the sun. It only passes between what is and what we can see. So maybe this darkness is not the end of love. Maybe it is only the moment when I must stand alone beneath a silent sky and trust — that somewhere beyond the shadow, the light is still burning, and one day it will find me again.
