I once saw a boy covered in black
Mysterious, no smile, eyes so sad
Had I known now what I didn’t know then
I would’ve held his hand so life wasn’t bad
20 years later in the mist of my darkness
A hero shows up to ease my pain
He’s covered in colors; eyes golden brown
He shines like the sun. Puts out the rain
He calls me beautiful and a treasure
Hugs me tight and loves my eyes
The only time I cry
Is when we say our goodbyes
He knows my secrets; loves me still
Holds my heart at night to ease my cry
Squeezes me tight so I have his warmth
To say I don’t love him would be a lie
A boy once dark; now full of light
Finding him I know I won
In my heart forever he stays
I’ll never regret finding my sun
