Sunset
More often than Christmas
More important than New Years
Don’t miss the opportunity when the chance is there
A sunset while the burning sand touch our feet and
We’re standing so close to the water that it tickles our skin
Sometimes it’s two people
Two objects
Or even two spirits
We sit and watch the sunset
The sunset that broke our hearts
The sunset that stole our first kiss
The sunset that took our souls
We're standing at this sunset watching it fade
You’re the sunset that hurt my heart, but you’re also the sunset that taught me not to cry more than once
And you’re the sunset that said if they walk away just watch and don’t speak
I feel you watching me but I’m too busy watching the sunset
Then you’re upset because I am not paying you any attention
I love you and you loved me
The sunset is gone now, so I finally look at you
But you’re not there
The sunset told me you would walk away and I watched you, but didn’t speak
But the sunset told me to only cry once so I will shed tears this one time
Tomorrow I will smile again when I watch the sunset
And this time… I will look at you before you walk away

— The End —
