Sometimes, I think back to the day when we first met
How I saw you, and all of a sudden, everything made sense
The world wasn't so ugly anymore
And I wasn't so unhappy anymore
And I fell in love with you the way that the sun sets
With a burst of light
That gradually kept on dimming
Until there was nothing left but darkness
And now I think, how silly it was, that I used to be afraid of the dark
How I used to think that there were monsters lurking in its shadows
Because you taught me to see that the scariest monsters are the ones who come out at day
With their charming smiles and manipulative words
Hiding their evil behind a mask that nobody, including them will ever take off
The only thing I have to be afraid of in this world
Are the people I trust the most
Because people become so good at hiding who they truly are
That how can you ever really now if your best friend is you're greatest enemy?
How can you admit to yourself that the things you love the most
Are the things that cause you the most pain
And how it's easier to not love at all
Because it means you never have to sacrifice, you never have anything to lose
You never have to become one of the monsters
Life is but a dream
Filled with far more terrible things than you could even imagine in your greatest nightmares
Yes, I'm no longer afraid of the dark
The dark does not try to hide it's secrets, it's where they come alive, where they thrive
I'm afraid of waking up to the light, when the demons dance back into hiding
That's what makes life a dream
Everything you think you know, about anyone or anything
Is nothing but a complete, and utter illusion
