you are light years away from me.

well at least that's what it seems like.
but despite the distance between us,
and considering that you don't really know me,
and i really don't know you,
you still haven't failed to amaze me.

on days that i feel hopeless,
you pop out of nowhere and make me smile.
the sad thing is that you don't even know what you do to me.
or for me.
you have saved me so many times.
from giving up.
from ending it all.
from myself.
and you don't even know it.

you are the light that guides me through the night.
you are my light.

you are my "light on in chicago."

and i know i should be home.
