Sunshine on my shoulder, I remember
how you painted every golden hour
in the hush before September
you kissed the sky, turned storms to power
I keep your light inside my pocket
threaded through the cotton of my skin
when the world gets cold, I unlock it
hear your summer breathing from within
Sunshine, stay, don’t fade with the tide
I still walk the shoreline where we cried
every ray a promise, every shadow a scar
but the warmth keeps returning to wherever we are
