And there we were,
Lying in your bed,
Getting drunk off the morning sun pouring through the cracks of your cheap blinds,
Drinking in each other and the moment,
Intoxicated off ideas and laughter,
Dizzy with the idea that a moment like this could last forever-
But suns must always set again,
driven by the magnetic pull of the night,
seductive with her shadowed curves
and without the truthful sun,
we began to sink
Waiting for the earth to turn again
Just as it had for all of time.
And in the moment just before
The sun could creep over the edge of where the sky meets soil,
You turned to me,
with lips barely parted,
And whispered words I’ll never remember
To forget.
You told me,
"The earth changes the day to night,
But it could never make me love you right
