There is a YOU

There is a YOU

In my world when the days are dark there is a YOU.
Even when the sun is at its highest peak and I just can’t see it’s beauty behind the darkness there is a YOU.

In my world when the days are dark there is a YOU.
When the palms of my hands are filled with salted water from my eyes there is a YOU.

In my world when the days are dark there is a YOU.
The moments when my legs and feet are too heavy to sway out of bed and the comforter is holding me so tight, there is a YOU.

In my world when the days are dark there is a YOU
Without there being a YOU, there wouldn’t be ME.
