the calm after the storm

How does the light of our love become so dim
Every time we try to shine, the clouds come in
Our past mistakes break free and drains all of our energy,
When I say I need you..
I hope you feel me
I would have never held on so long if I didn't look past the clouds and saw your sunshine peeking at me,
If I never saw the potential of what we could be,
If I never had hope for our family,
But lately this storm hasn't let up,
Stuck behind those clouds
Blinded by the gloom
Distracted by the darkness
These gray skies have taken over our light..
I'm willing to make it right..
But can you promise me that I'll look in your eyes and see the sun that once shined.
