Brighter Are My Days Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

If it was not,
From a love you gave to me...
I would still be drifting.
Seeking what it was I sought.
To come close to losing it to miss.

If it was not,
From a love you gave to me...
I would not notice,
How my heart made attempts...
To pretend to dismiss it.

You made me feel to make it known,
I hid inside with a kept denied love.
You made me feel to also make known,
What it was I felt...
You dared to make yours shown.

Brighter became the stars.
Brighter now the Sun.
Each day when I awaken,
I arise before the dawn comes.

Brighter are my days.
Less lonely are those nights.
Knowing someone's found,
With me they know it's right...
To share this love.

If it was not,
From a love you gave to me...
I would still be drifting.
Seeking what it was I sought.
And thought could never be.

You made me feel to make it known.
Brighter are my days.
Less lonely are those nights.
Knowing someone's found,
With me they know it's right...
To love.

Brighter more the stars.
So bright now the Sun appears.
Knowing someone's found,
With me they know it's right...
To share together love.

Brighter are my days.
Since you gave my feelings meaning.
Brighter are my days.
Knowing you brought me to notice,
What I sought to seek to find...
Was you.

Brighter are my days.
'Brighter are our days.'
Less lonely are my nights.
'Less lonely are our nights...
Together.'
