Sunshine

"I'll meet you in the morning," she said with a quiet smile. "I'll be the one
in gold, surrounded in blue and maybe whisps of white."
And when I woke to meet her, she rose tall and proud. Confident, radiant. I spent a summer basking in her glow. She kissed me sweetly, wrapped her arms around me, for a season she was mine. But she grew distant, her light faded, our love went cold. She left me shivering in a dark and endless night.

But some days she passes through and stops to whisper in my ear. She brushes her fingertips across my cheeks, caressing me, teasing me. And I realize I will never not want her.

I spent a perfect day in the sun. A lovely day soaking in the warmth and the light. I forgot how much I missed it, how much I needed it. This is my love song to the sun.
