Light Bugs in a Jar
Like light bugs in a jar, I keep your love.
Stashed away, never releasing it, but clasped in tight fingers.
Come here, be with me, then go.
Go away, but not too far.
Stay where I can see your bright lights shining like home.
Light my path and keep me warm
As surely as the summer sun.
Then, as the sun in Autumn, go about your business.
Still, I know you will return,
Bright lights shining the way home.
Find me always, my bright one
Like a torch as you search me out
Just out of reach, but your shadows seen
So, when I cry out you draw near,
And kiss my face with the warmth of you.
