Sunshine, I call out to thee

Lying in bed, the shadows playing overhead, throwing stories of the world all over the ceiling.
I stare up at it, my eyes every now and again trailing to the fan as it spins.
If I stare long enough one of the panels looks as if it's broken off and yet still spinning.
I seem to have too much time to waste now...
Not like I keep track of the time anymore...
I'm not sure if it's 3 AM or 10 PM.
All I know is that the sun went down and the sirens are blaring outside, like every moment of my life.
Or maybe I only listen when they're going off, maybe I don't pay attention to the silence, if it ever does lay a hand upon the world outside.

I never leave this room anymore, never
...Shadows play upon the wall in lights of crimson and blue.
And then the door opens and light shines through, daylight...Daylight spreads across everything, illuminating the world inside and out.
"Hello sunshine...I was wondering when you were coming back" I say

You walk in and smile at me, moving closer with every passing second...
you plant a kiss on my lips and I'm alive again, I can feel the blood coursing through my veins, your name screaming through my body...You're a part of me.

The shadows the plauged me are gone, the sirens have stopped...
Replaced by your sweet voice as you reply "I'm here now, and I was barely gone...never really gone, did you worry yourself to death again?" You ask as your hand smoothes it's way through my hair, attempting to calm me.
I don't speak, I just close my eyes and revel in your sweet touch.
"No more worrying" You whisper in my ear before planting a kiss on my earlobe.
Simple touch and yet the safety I feel in your arms, with your lips on me...that can't be replaced.
"I love you" I finally find my voice, I open my eyes to see your smile shining bright and your eyes deep, swimming in love.
You reply to me "I love you too, forever and always"
