About This Quote

This is a very sweet compliment about the other person being so caring and loving that they have to have you around to make sure the sun rises. This is a very sweet compliment because it shows that you are important enough to the person that they need you to make sure that life continues. They could do without you but they don't want things to get by with their happiness. The sun won't come up without you because someone needs to make sure it does.
