You’re the light I lean toward,
especially on cloudy days.
Just like a sunflower—
showing devotion, loyalty,
never swaying away from the sun.
Maybe, in a way,
you are my sun.
You remind me what it’s like to lean toward someone
with pure intentions,
to feel the happiness
behind a simple glance
at someone who means so much.
When I see you,
I see my present—
and what I hope
will be my future too.
Every time I see you,
I can’t help but smile
and see all I could ever want
in one single person,
one single human.
Everything you are.
Who you are.
Exactly what I want.
In a world that changes too quickly—
a world of inconsistency—
you remain my constant sun,
steady and sure,
reminding me that love
is meant to grow,
not rush, not fade.
A reminder that love
blooms the brightest hues of two,
when hearts grow together under the same sky,
when two souls intertwine
and reach for the light.
If I could love you in any way,
it would be like a sunflower
loves the sky—
always turning toward
where the light begins,
always leaning toward the sun,
always standing tall and proud,
shining bright and true.
That’s exactly how
I want to love you.
That’s exactly how
I will always love you.
