Dear Sunshine,
I hate to tell you things that make you cry and make you sad,
But time has stolen my feelings and my words are left unsaid.
I've lost the love that we once had,
All the good and all the bad.
I know, perhaps once we said forever
But the tattered ribbons must be severed
Don't frown sunset
Don't hide behind the hill
Throw your beams of orange and red
Catch the eye of another instead
Just don't cast that light on me.
I've made my choice to go, and you can't come with me, Sunshine
There's only one ticket, and only one suitcase
Only enough room for one blazing fire.
Please keep burning, I wouldn't want you to die
It's just that I can't love you or live this awful lie.
Dear Sunset,
You were my Sunrise
But now you're my moon
Please don't come home, please don't knock
I've already locked the door.
