The last rays of the sun are touching the third floor of the buildings. Same color as the clouds. For as long as I look at it, it will stay there, perfect and frozen and beautiful. The moment I look away it will be gone. If only I could hold this last light in my hands, like a cup to keep me warm, like a bowl that brims over. Peek through the blinds again tomorrow, love. I'll still be here.

The Sun Departing Down the Street Like a Guest
The last rays of the sun are touching the third floor of the buildings. Same color as the clouds. For as long as I look at it, it will stay there, perfect and frozen and beautiful. The moment I look away it will be gone. If only I could hold this last light in my hands, like a cup to keep me warm, like a bowl that brims over. Peek through the blinds again tomorrow, love. I'll still be here.
