You saved me, you should remember me
I found you, but I don’t even know you
I thought I knew you, but then something important disappeared
You’ll know soon, what I mean
Because after that, I awoke
And in awakening I saw light
Light maybe just of the sun rising over the hills
But I think the light was a sign
For light can never be scary
No matter how far or how wide you travel, the light will always be your companion
You can see great distances and feel warmth in a deserted place-
When the light is near.
But when the light disappears
You feel the fog roll in
But you cannot see it, for the darkness presses down
Lands seen and recognized for days on end
Seem like strangers at night
And what I’ve noticed is this:
No matter how many days I spend near,
No matter how much I know you and see you my dear
Eventually the light disappears
And the darkness blankets what I once saw.
