the Sun began to set at seven thirty five that day creating a blurred haze of streaky orange that i saw through my glassy eyes induced by the cocktail of medications i was on that night plus whatever they put in my back which started to wear off into nothing three hours after i took them and the doctor said there was nothing they could do about it and the pain got worse so i kicked and screamed and sobbed in pitch black and i bet You didn’t know this but there had been a tornado hours before knocking out the lights in the hospital so the nurses had to evacuate me to the bottom floor and when i got back to my room it was dark until seven-o-three the next morning when the Sun came out again but was then covered by clouds so the sky was grey and gloomy and i couldn’t feel the lower half of my body anymore and i was all alone but it made me feel better that in a couple hours i wouldn’t be alone because You would be there and i wouldn’t have to cry anymore and i had been crying for the past three hours in the dark because all i wanted to do was get You out and the doctors told me it wasn’t that simple and i would have to wait a couple hours longer which felt like days and months and years of waiting for You but it was all worth it in the end because the Sun came out once again and illuminated Your face for the first time and i didn’t have to worry about anything because the clouds were gone and the Sun was out and your little fingers wrapped around mine and the lights went on and everything felt right again and nothing else mattered to me because you were my Sun.
