Remain in light

Remain in light you say

Although the weather inside here is dark

And so many storms

Threaten inside this fortress I have built

To keep myself safe

But your light is not just visible

It is something that ignites within my chest

A wick of fire

That burns with a recognition

Too strong for me to believe

That this was not fate

And that you might not be

My twin flame

And so every time

A part of me screams

Put up your walls

Another part of me knows

Walls are nothing but an illusion

And a defense

I have been here before

And I remember how painful it felt

When fear blocked love

And so as much as darkness pulls on me

And thoughts of threat

As a sense the leaving of the night

I summon up my courage

Open my heart

And surrender to the sunrise

As you tell me of the beauty

You see in me

Through your eyes
