You're as bright as the sun.
and you bring warmth to everyone around.
Everyone loves you and the joy you keep around,
but I grew up in the shade,
and the sun burns too much for me to want to stay.

I should have said no and left it at that.
but I didn't want to give up just yet.
It isn't your fault that I said no.
but now you live with the pain of knowing so.

I've hidden from the sun for much too long.
And now you burn me when we're together for too long.
Please forgive me; I'm sorry, my sun.
but this is goodnight from "your special someone."

Signed the one who didn't like the sun
