Times in my secluded world
Is like the sun at its final repose.
It is darkness forever untouched
By the sharpness of light.
But if ever there is, let it be you--
To cover my dampened eyes,
That I may never see the tears
And count them as they tumble.
Times amidst the faces that linger around me
Who could tell beneath those smiles
If they are nothing but lies?
There is no sort of permanence
Nor lasting comfort on this earth.
But if ever there is, let it be you--
For beneath your smile, I can see truth.
Within your eyes, I can see life.
Times I've spent without you
Remind me of lost friends
Where love had never been
As constant as the sun.
But if ever there is, I pray let it be you--
For I have your love always,
Even in the darkest night of winter,
Shining through.
