Sunshine Away
Cathlene Tomas
Y’all guys know this song?
I remember it’s something like...
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are gray
You'll never know dear, how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away
Sunshine, Sunrise, Sunflower, Yellow, Happy
Y’all know what’s wrong with these things?
They’re temporary. They fade.
Sunshine turns into moonlight!
Sunrise always ends with sunset
A sunflower is nothing compared to a rose
Yellow can be black
Happy….can be sad
What’s the point of dwelling in Happiness if you know there’s always a consequence smiling?
What’s the point of saying good morning to someone who’s ready to say goodbye?
What’s the point of loving if in the end, you need to let it go?
This is not a love story where two different people find themselves in the middle of the night, holding hands, raining… that’s way too corny
This is not a love story where two people find themselves looking at the moon at night
This is not a love story where two people find themselves in the steamy shower, inhaling vapors, whispering love spells as if it’s magic without a trick,
This is not the love story I imagined writing for you.
Sunshine, Sunrise, Sunflower, Yellow, Happy,
They’re all love stories.
But you are a love poem
A love poem I secretly write
A love poem I pour my tears into every single night
A love poem I love
Because you know, love stories have their endings
Love poems are only abandoned but never finished
But I’ve been telling y’all, this ain’t a love story
This is a love poem that I’m not going to abandon
And the next time I see you, I’ll write you a poem
You know, something like:
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are gray
You'll never know dear, how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away.
