You are something truly beautiful
In this hideous society
You shine a hopeful light
In a world where it's rare to see

Darkness touches all you view
Refuse to let night dim your fire
Ugliness creeps in like a draft through the door
Your peace my ultimate desire

I love you for all that you are
Had no warmth in my life before you
I made the decision to leave you stranded
Didn't know I would be stranded too

This is how our story had to go
My past was dark without your face
Today
Next to you confronted with
All I have been struggling to erase

There is no one else like you
They say each individual is one-of-a-kind
But they appear the same to me
You are the first to change my mind

You may have left scars on me
The feeling you give soothes any pain
Even when I am irreversibly miserable
You are the sunshine that ends falling rain
Everyone needs something to brighten those dark days
