Bright Light

He was what I never wanted; he was all I was against Like a strange enemy I hated him, ever thing he was I hated I never paid attention, his presence destroyed my comfort I thought I had better things, things that will never involve him He lights a candle, he lights a bright light He made people laugh, I slept when the laughed He tried to explain something, I wrote something different To me it was noise, to others it was knowledge I did not know the future, yet it was a matter of a few years He lights a candle, he lights a bright light I waited for his misfortune, it never came I waited for his resignation, I saw a promotion Until It was time to leave, I was finally away from him I could forget all about him, I turned the page He lights a candle, he lights a bright light I saw him again, my heart jumped Trying to flashback, he could not even remember Just a simple talk and he was mine, he changed all that was dead We crossed the fine line; it was separating love and hate He lights a candle, he lights a bright light I owe my life to him, my achievements he inspire In failure he lifts me up, in success he shares a smile He now makes me laugh, he sleeps when I laugh There are no ways to thank him; I owe him more than that He lights a candle, he lights a bright light
