Hidden from the light

I told you to go,

I told you to run.

I told you to fly, 

Fly away from the sun.

But you ran towards the light,

Leaving me ever-so free.

Until I realize that you ran away from me.

I hide in the darkness,

Shying away from the light.

Steering clear cause it's ever so bright.

You shine in the dark,

heeding only kind words.

While I sit there thinking,

'It's ever so absurd.'

I wish I could tell you that I miss your light,

That you showed me through my darkest night.

But to tell you that I can not do, 
For the fear that I might hurt you.

To protect my heart and the love inside, 
I shy away from the light.

If life took you away, I'd forever cry,

Stuck with this darkness, hidden away from sight.
