i felt the sun on my face and i wondered where you were.
i pushed through resistance and reached for your hand,
but nothing, still nothing as i struggled to stand.
"i need your strength," i cried, "i have no more."
my legs were spent and my feet were sore.
the shadows consumed me when i pleaded for light,
while the ground was inviting as i gave up the fight.
one more step, i conceded.
this is it.
as i rose...
i felt the wind at my back and i knew it was you.
