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
