I lay in the sun
My skin warms with happiness
This is what life should be
Lounging in the sunlight
Toes in the frigid river water
A slight breeze to keep you cool
And listening to a loved one talk
(I'm sorry I haven't visited)
It's okay
I want to tell him that it's okay
Whoever it is
He sounds kind
He sounds like he knows me
His voice comforts me
Maybe I'm just crazy
If I am, so be it
At least I'm not alone anymore
I hear a branch crack behind me
I turn and see the shadow man
He saunters towards me
(I love you so much Annie)
The shadow man is the one speaking
He sits next to me
Mimics how I'm sitting
We lay there
I don't understand anything that's happening
But that's okay
I'm finally happy
We lay there until the sun goes down
Never speaking
And then he disappears into the night
I have a feeling I'll see him again
I lay in the darkness
And I smile to myself
Happiness is a wonderful feeling
