sun gets in my eyes

Drawing by C.T. Duncan

You ran so far away that I couldn't find you

The sun got in my eyes 

And I never want to stand in the dark again

There is not time enough to search

Through the rubbish and wait

Always waiting for you to figure things out

Never to know how well it feels

To stand, holding hands, in the sun

With someone who already knows

What I need, what he needs

What we need to carry on 

Is the love we give ourselves

But better because it carves away 

Sadness and pain, making way 

For something more

As we look toward the sun
