You'll Never Know, Dear


As lonely as a twilight sky That sees the sunlight slowly die, I almost learn to say goodbye- Darkness. You sink so far and out of view And though I try to follow you, Your light recedes into the blue- Empty. I make an air balloon of stars To lift you high and take you far Where you’ll discover who you are- Safe. And even though you burn the hands That hold you up above the land, I swear I’ll always understand- Always. Knowing that you’ll rise again, I steady stand as loyal friend And we will shine and warm and mend- Together.
