"you are my sunshine,
My only sunshine,
You make me happy when skies are grey,
You'll never know dear,
How much i love you,
Oh please don't take my sunshine away,"*
My mom used to sing this,
I would close my eyes,
Feel her warm embrace,
Feel safe from lurking monsters,
*
I was happy,
There was only light,
Flowers bloomed daily,
And the beaches were calm,
*
I began to grow up,
As I did I noticed something,
Winters were much colder,
And fall started earlier,
*
The warm lights fade,
as the hands on a clock move,
Constantly progressing,
Reminding me of what I can't get back,
*
What is going on?
Just sing the song,
Sing at the top of my lungs,
Emphasize the sunshine,
*
Sing sing sing,
Doesn't matter how good,
Or how small the voice is,
But put your heart out,
*
Maybe the sun will listen,
Maybe it'll come again,
till then I hug my savior,
Tightly i might add,
*
I love that feeling,
The warm embrace,
Tight and protective hold,
Engulfing my entirety,
*
Maybe there's a reason,
I prefer tight hugs,
The engulfing hugs,
The bear hugs,
*
maybe it's the protective feeling,
Maybe it's the warmth it emits,
Or maybe it's because i know,
I know what it's like,
*
I know what it feels like,
That intolerable feeling,
To not be held,
But covered,
*
Covered by the veiled enemy,
Blinded to a certain point,
That when I'm uncovered,
I'm naive,
*
Sing sing sing,
Doesn't matter how desperate,
Or how many times you've lost hope,
Just look forward to morning,
*
Morning will bring light,
Noon gives warmth,
Evening is warning,
And night is inevitably dreadful.
