I opened my eyes and stared at you

You were shining like the morning sun

You kept me wrapped in your arms

Gave me all the warmth in the world

It was worth everything to me


As you rise in the sky

Your warmth grows greater

I can sink further and further into you

The world almost feels safe

You seem to protect me without even trying


But every day must come to an end

No matter where I go

The sun has to set every night

And there is no guarantee I wake up tomorrow

No guarantee I will ever see you again

Even if I do wake up

I don't know if I'll wake up to the same sun

Or if you'll be replaced with someone new again


I swear

I want you here

I want you by my side

But I can't promise anything

I don't know what will happen when the sun sets

I can't promise that you'll be by my side when it rises

I may just lock you out

And draw the blinds shut

So the light can never touch me

I may not feel safe in your warmth tomorrow

I'm sorry
