You are the sun in my sky
Lighting up my life
Without you I’m surrounded in darkness
That tears at my flesh and seeps through my sallow skin

You are the drop of water that defines the ocean
Without you, the Atlantic dissolves from existence

I wish you would realize how great you
Really are

I wish you could see
Precisely what I see

The day I met you I knew you would be great

You, the best friend I’ve ever had
The best
Best best best best best best best best best best friend
I have ever known

Like a bright sun that warms the earth
You light up my life
Without you I’m surrounded in darkness
Without you I am nothing
For you, only you are the sun in my sky
Lighting up my life
Without you,
I
Wait
In lonely darkness
For you to come.
