the words you gave me
they were wonderful, but cryptic all the same
it's always when i'm all alone
that the meaning sinks in
only later on do i realize your kindness
i run after you to say thank you
but you've already proceeded ahead
before i could catch up with you
i'll run to a bright and shining day
i know i'll see you there
you couldn't possibly tread into the darkness
the angle of the sun causes shadows to cast upon your profile
i want to shine high and bright, just enough to protect it
like a nice and sunny place
when you smiled and turned your face away
despite your best efforts to hold them back
tears trickled down
the darkened side of your cheek
i'll silently tuck it away into a box in my heart
if i wish to leave you be
then all that can be done is to beat you to it
shadows and light flicker under the eaves of the trees
i want to embrace all the running emotions, the joy and the sorrow
like a warm and sunny place
leaving a tail of smiles behind you, you continue onwards
i want to embrace this feeling of being torn between happiness and regret
the angle of the sun causes shadows to cast upon your profile
i want to shine high and bright, just enough to protect it
like a nice and sunny place
though separated, my heart lies close to yours
