You were like a shining light
Into the darkness of my life
I was taken back by the way you smiled
I knew from the start you'd always have my heart.
We spent every day like it was the last
You made me see things differently, with meaning
When I was scared you were there for me
Wiping away my tears
You held my fragile heart in your hands
For what seemed like forever
We grew apart when you left
Never an intention
When you returned home
I saw that my sun had died
It was left somewhere out in the sand
In that barren land
I forgive you for breaking my heart
For crumbling it into dust
For the last time we had somehow lost our trust
My sun was gone forever, I see that now
I forgive you for everything, my love
Although I shouldn't
I forgive you for things
I thought I couldn't
Thank you for showing me
Even for a short while
That a single smile
Can change your life
Forgiven
