My Own Sun

Everyone has their own sun —

someone who makes you want to wake up in the morning,

even after a night full of tears.


I once had a sun like that.

He came into my life

like the first ray of light after a long winter,

so warm that I forgot

how cold I used to be.


He always smiled,

a smile bright enough to light up my whole day.

He told me:


“You deserve the most beautiful sunrise.”


I believed my sun

would never set.

But nothing lasts forever, does it?

One day, he left,

taking all the dazzling mornings with him.


The world fell back into shadow.

I lost my direction,

like the moon without a glow to borrow.


But then…

time taught me this:

The sun doesn’t live only

in one person

or in a love that has ended.


There are sunrises

that rise from within your own heart.

When I learned to love life again,

when I wiped my tears and stood up,

the light found its way back to me.


Now, I no longer wait

for someone to brighten my world.

Because I finally understand:


I am my own sun. 🌞
