The sun shines through the window And the sun shines…

“The sun shines through the window And the sun shines through your hair It seems like you're beside me But I know that you're not there. You would sit beside this window Run your fingers through my hair You were always there beside me But I know that you're not there Oh, to be by your side once…” quote by Maggie Stiefvater
