Sunshape Smile
Track 5 of Mirror Season
[ Lyrics ]
Your grin gave me seasons… yeah, your sunshape smile. First time I saw you, golden in the doorway, laughing like the world had cleared just to play. We walked through July like it was made for us, fireflies in jars, your hand warm in my trust. You said, ‘Jas, you’re magic,’ and I almost believed, 'cause every lie felt soft when your face was lit. Now I scroll through the pictures, paused on that June haze— even pixels glow like you set my soul ablaze. I know it was fleeting, I know it was brief, but love don’t need forever to bleed through the grief. So I let it live in the light of my mind, rewinding the moment you looked and I shined. Your grin gave me seasons, turned my gray to gold, warmed me up in silence when the truth went untold. I was spring in a drought, fall in one night— your sunshape smile still teaches me light. Remember that drive-in, stars stuck in your eyes? You kissed me like summer had endless supply. We danced in the driveway, no music but us, and I swore to the moon I’d never lose this. You called me your sunrise, your favorite view, but forgot to stay when the season changed hue. Now I wear that glow like a coat I can’t shed— brightest when lonely, warm when I’m scared. I know you moved on, I see it online, but memory don’t answer to time or design. So I keep that version, the one bathed in grace— the man who made sunshine just by showing his face. It wasn’t eternal, but it was true— in that golden pocket, I became someone new. Not the girl I was, not the ghost I became… just a heart full of light, whispering your name. Your grin gave me seasons, turned my gray to gold, warmed me up in silence when the truth went untold. I was spring in a drought, fall in one night— your sunshape smile still teaches me light. Sunshape smile… sunshape smile… Yeah… you gave me seasons.
