You had realized long ago
That the sun could be a person

The sun could be found
In lingering glances
That burn your eyes
In a pleasant way

The sun could be found
Even late at night
When it's dark outside
Lighting up your dreams

The sun could be someone
Who doesn't understand what
You've been through
But illuminates you
Every step of the way

The sun could be someone
You're willing to help
Just to be rewarded with a smile
Bright, beaming, caused by you

You realized all of this
After spending mornings and afternoons
Not having to look up at the sky
Because it was enough
To look to your right
Where he was standing

And so you asked yourself
When did he become your sun?
