I was eclipsed by you.
You came into my life
and extinguished the world I knew.
When I awoke from the dream,
I was transformed.
I opened my eyes and truly saw for the first time.
The blind, with renewed vision.  
A miracle, and no less.
I could breathe for the first time.
All weight was lifted from my chest.
Expectations and reputations, demolished.
I filled my lungs with you.
I inhaled your beauty.
I reached out my hands.
I could feel!
Oh, I could feel!
It was so real, it was magic.
I held you,
and so I held the world within my grasp.
I had only touched disappointment and lies
Before that day.
There was warmth,
You lit me on fire.
The ice thawed from my heart
And melted my walls.
I was free!
You were the one that found the key I had hidden.
I buried it beneath the earth,
Or at the bottom of the ocean,
But you found me.
You unlocked me from my prison.
I was eclipsed by you.
When the sun returned to its place in the sky,
The world looked completely new,
Under the renewed lights.

Nothing could ever compare to the beauty I saw
When you opened my eyes,
and I saw you seeing me.
The image is burned in my retinas.
And now, forever, I shall see you.
Never again to be blinded.
