You’re The Sun (Cold Lover)

Oh cold lover, my heart you have caught, As I think of you on humid days like these. I know you hate when the weather is hot, But you are the only warmth that I need. You are the sun, with which I can’t part, Without you in my life, I’m frigid and blue. Your radiance alone envelops my heart, Searing my brain with the memory of you. You make me feel like a noble knight, Glistening steel reflecting your bright beams, But also like a damsel with a blight: Waiting for you, he who blesses my dreams. In reality, you were never mine, Just another daydream-induced affliction While the warmth of the spring is fine, Nothing can beat you: my golden depiction. Though the heat keeps me wanting more, Thoughts of your warmth are in my mind, preserved. Being without your love is a fate worse than war, Even if your love is one I never deserved. Oh cold lover, my heart you still own, I yearn for you when the shining light wakes. I’ll stay here with feelings I should postpone, But I’ll wait for you, however long it takes.
