they were wonderful, but cryptic all the same
+
it's always when i'm all alone
+
that the meaning sinks in
+
only later on do i realize your kindness
+
i run after you to say thank you
+
but you've already proceeded ahead
+
before i could catch up with you
+
i'll run to a bright and shining day
+
i know i'll see you there
+
you couldn't possibly tread into the darkness
+
the angle of the sun causes shadows to cast upon your profile
+
i want to shine high and bright, just enough to protect it
+
like a nice and sunny place
+
when you smiled and turned your face away
+
despite your best efforts to hold them back
+
the darkened side of your cheek
+
i'll silently tuck it away into a box in my heart
+
if i wish to leave you be
+
then all that can be done is to beat you to it
+
shadows and light flicker under the eaves of the trees
+
i want to embrace all the running emotions, the joy and the sorrow
+
like a warm and sunny place
+
leaving a tail of smiles behind you, you continue onwards
+
i want to embrace this feeling of being torn between happiness and regret
+
the angle of the sun causes shadows to cast upon your profile
+
i want to shine high and bright, just enough to protect it
+
like a nice and sunny place
+
though separated, my heart lies close to yours
