A glimpse of light, you came into my life Bright, beautiful, spledid, yes but all to fleeting I let the light shine upon me enjoying it And yet the light reflected off me The shine changed me, my visage To all who could see I had changed and yet they never knew The smile, like a trick of light that shows the hairs on a face Never seen before, noticed but unknown Showing up but not to stand out And now that light is gone and yet again the face changes Now in the dimness they still can't see why They don't notice the fading shadow of said smile They never knew of you, For while I basked in your light I eclipsed the truth I hid you as you wanted Now you hide again The light is gone and the shadows have come Now I must become acustomed to the dark once again
