Last summer was the best I ever had
I drew closer to my friends
I lived life greatly
I knew what was in my heart
Because they helped me feel like myself
We laughed till we cried
We stayed awake till others awoke
We spent simple days together
Now here I lay
Dead cold outside
Wondering what happened
Staring at the ceiling
But there is only darkness
Seeing a streetlight through my window
And shadows of trees
You know they are there
But you can't see their detail
I wish you could arise from the shadows
