You're the sun that lights my day
And even when it's bad
You make me smile anyway
With just a thought

You're the cutest girl I know
So I asked you out
And please, let's not take it slow
That's just a thought

'Cause you make me feel alive
Though I'm so tired
You're the reason I survive
It's just the thought

You're always stuck in my head
Even if I'm busy
You've got me hanging by a thread
Inside your thoughts

Tales of the shadow
Creeping in the night
Tales of the hunter
Searching with keen sight

'Tis an endless dance
The pair of them make
The hunter to save
And the shadow to break

The Soulstealer comes
In the witching hour
While people are dreaming
His chosen prey cowers

The hunter steps light
With his weapons in hand
When he finds the dark beast
There he'll make his stand

For 'tis his sworn duty
To guard and to save
From the dark in the night
And the shadow in day

Tired, eyes bleary with sleep
But I force them open again
I can't doze off just quite yet
You have to go to work at ten

Sitting in front of my screen
My mind begins to wander
But I can't sleep quite yet
'Cause I still have to call her

I can see the sun glinting
Just through the window glass
But I just want to talk to her
Five minutes, that's all I ask

Well past four in the morning
My phone lights up the room
A smile fills my face
It says, "Hey honey, I love you."

Coffee rings stain my desk
And your fingerprints mark
Where your hands lingered
Last night in the dark

The morning sun shines bright
And your hair spills across the bed
I can't focus on anything
As you fill my head

Your arms stretch towards the ceiling
And I smile as you catch my eye
I think to myself again
How I never want to say goodbye

Faerie flitting through the trees
Please, oh please, don't come near me
I don't want your taunts and tricks
Your words are worse than stones and sticks

Though you look so fine and pretty
With your voice that's so bewitching
Your fair, fair face hides mischief well
And all the secrets you won't tell

Your glistening wings, they flutter fast
As you loop and circle past
Lost in the maze of tangled leaves
A shining speck on the summer breeze

It doesn't seem so far
When I hear your voice
You know that I'd be there
If I had a choice

But when I'm in my bed
Where it's dark and cold
I've never felt so lonely
I need someone to hold

The distance is so far
Though I wish upon a star
You and I remain
So far apart

You know that I'll come home
To hold you close and tight
You know I wished upon a star
A star that burned so bright

We're miles and hours away
And there's an ocean in between
But I love you so much
The distance isn't what it seems

The distance isn't far
Though I wished upon a star
You and I are still
So far apart

But I'll come back to you
No matter what it takes
I'll make it back to you
If I have to walk all the way
Josiah Wilson Feb 2014
Chin up, head up
Bad days never
Last forever

Eyes dry, don't cry
I'm here to say
It gets better

I'm here for you
If you need me
And I won't leave
Believe me
