They say the night is darkest
just before the sun rises
and I've been through the darkest of nights
crawling into the sunrise
longing for something the daylight may bring

then I walked in the sunlight
side by side, with its colors
and I had everything
but as I ran to the sunset
one by one, the colors faded slowly
and I had nothing

my heart was sinking
like the sun in the horizon
how can something so beautiful be this sad?

And the sun sets
embracing all its colors and warmth
yet the cold didn't bother me
my hand felt warm
and I looked back and saw
that I was never alone
from the darkest of nights
to laughing in the sun
from my nothingness
to the setting sun

I looked back and there was you
you have been there all along
holding my hand

In your eyes,
I saw my brokenness, its nothingness
I saw the beauty of the setting sun in your eyes
I saw you
and I saw love in your eyes
I found you
and I found love in your eyes
