When You’re Sad

Khalid Mukhtar · December 8, 2014 · Leave a Comment

When you’re sad now, just remember it’s alright

There’s a reason that you’re feeling sad this way

Someone’s drawing your attention at this time

And is working now to help you turn away

From each smell each taste each touch each sight and sound

That fills every space and moment of your day

Shut it out and turn you with your heart around

To where all that ever matters goes to play

And then look into that face you cannot see

Listen close now to that voice you cannot hear

As your heart pumps out a name in every beat

It is how a sweet remembrance draws you near

There is nothing else that matters now my dear
