Why did I feel that you were as lonely as I was?

The room was decorated
in bright colours
radiated from the flowers in every corner
and the bright faces full of celebration

Why did I feel that amidst the colours
you were as pale as the moonlight
searching for the sun to embrace you
more tightly
and share more of its rays?

Why did I feel that you were
as lonely as I was?

*It was your birthday after all*
