one day in the spring the sun rose over our beginning 

the warmth of its earliest rays gave us hope and rebirth 

we woke ourselves up just to see it 

for we knew it would be beautiful 

we knew that clouds would pass 

but the sun would always rise

it was an unspoken truth 

we had no words but felt every feeling 

living in our own world and rebelling in our own way 

learning together as the snow melted 

and loneliness lost its meaning 

one day in the summer the sun rose as we fell in love 

I promised to always take care of you and tried my hardest as the heat pushed us to our limit 

and you were there for me 

when the brightest season became our darkest hour 

I relished in my freedom for you, for our world 

a world I wanted to be in, always

a warm summer breeze became priceless 

and your arms around me; invaluable 

one day in the fall the sun rose as our world changed 

we were wiser, older, losing touch with reality and the fragility of love 

the heat left the atmosphere as we took on a new routine and made new mistakes 

colorful leaves brought a renewal of my promise to you

through crowded fairgrounds and difficult farewells 

we took care of each other 

the world grew cold and restless 

but never empty

always alive

one day in the winter the sun rose over our end 

I will never forget the life cycle of our love 

and the first sunrise we saw together 

saying nothing, feeling everything 

cold weather and warm hearts bring change 

as unwelcome as our last sunrise was

it was a sunrise nonetheless 

and there will be one every day 

in this wild, wild world
