“The Only Light That Matters In My World” by David Ellis

You are important to me
You always have been
When you’re not there
A massive hole presents itself
I’m no longer in control of my world

Your devilish grin lights up
The whole room we’re in
Every inch of darkness
Banished, as your beauty blossoms
Radiating purity like there’s no tomorrow

Your feelings mean something
They carry weight in ways
That are difficult for those
On the outside looking in
To fully comprehend and understand
The lengths I would go to for you

Your voice makes a difference
Whatever you have to say
The words spill out harmoniously
All warm, honey-coated and glazed
You could read the phone book all day
I would still be in awe and infatuated

Your story has substance
From the whole thing
To something so simple
Like where you come from
What you ate for breakfast
To what’s been bugging you today
Every little detail is magical in its own way

Your life is all that matters to me
To help you on your path
Is the greatest privilege
In which I can partake
Your friends, your family, all of us
Colour each picture of our journey
I take pleasure in painting this epic portrait

Keep on knowing that I always will
Be there for you in heart, spirit, adventure and thrills
You’re the only light I’ve ever known
The only light that can be seen in my world
From now until the end of time
