White Light
My memories of you are surrounded by a halo
The kind of white glow you can get in photos
When there’s too much background light
I know in my heart that every moment
Simply couldn’t have looked like that
Couldn’t have had that feeling in my heart
Even the first time I met you
But looking back now, I did
That light was there when we snuck out in the night
Ventured to the cliff above the waterfall
And just sat for hours
It was there when you found the old ring
Amidst the brush and the bushes
And proposed to me with a joking smile
That now I question sometimes
It was there when you showed me your
Broken, battered guitar
And sang to me a song so sickly sweet
It’s still sticky in my ears
It was even there when we found out about JT
And you just held me in your arms
Surrounding me, enveloping me
And it was somehow okay to cry
