The warmth graces me,
The light ignites me somehow.

Days pass, as I feel myself grow closer,
Facing you, over and over.

I work harder for you to notice me,
Notice how you, unknowingly, nurture me.

But, sometimes, you hide away,
And that ruins my day!

Facing down, I start to ponder,
My will to work completely lost.

I start doubting myself,
Maybe, I could face something else.

Maybe, just maybe,
You weren't everything I needed.

Ah, but then the clouds part,
Clearing my fogged heart.

Your presence sparks again that fire within,
As I feel myself take a deep breath in.

I may not know what lies beyond you,
Since my senses tie me to you;

For now, I believe your power,
Your rays lead me to imagine a forever.
