Goodbye Sunshine

Goodbye Sunshine, I'm off for the night
Your golden warm rays aren't far from my sight
It might be a change but to me that's alright
For you are in my memory.

You drove all my thoughts and changed all my ways
With you I've spent years, many months, many days
To you I looked up to and had fixed my glaze.

I once was afraid to leave your embrace
Thought terrors and troubles and tears I would face
For I feared my decisions would alter my pace
And you stayed in my memory.

I left and I felt a taste of distressed
For I was more east than more ever west
But I calmed myself and hoped for the best.

My hope did come true and best I did get
So great that of leaving I'll never regret
But of you are my origins I will not forget
Because you are my memory.

I've met a new day of which I'm content
With it I have loved and time I have spent
I figured my life and to you I repent.

I thought I was happy but found that was not
I was living for others and was so distraught
I looked for my answers, my answers I sought
With you at the center of my memory.

My answers were found and to you I found none
My mind was at chaos and my new day had won
I knew what was needed and knew it was done.

It warmly embraced me, it recleansed my soul
An ever-changed mindset and shining new goal
I learned my true nature and I took control
With you dug deep in my memory.

I saw the vast heights, glazed down the new lows
And knew it was freedom and life that I chose
It was not ideal but what God transposed.

I found a new self and found a new me
I’ve worked to find glory in the life that I see
Goodbye Sunshine, this was destiny
But you will be in my memory.
