I want to be loved the way the sun sets,
Gently, beautifully, filled with warmth.
Allowing oneself to forego regrets,
and be a sanctuary for a heavy heart.

To be reminded in the midst of chaos
To stop and take a second to breathe,
To give yourself a few moments of pause
And to grasp again your inner peace.

To be gazed upon with love and wonder,
To be fearlessly vulnerable and at ease.
To be comforted that you are not asunder,
And to be valued as a masterpiece.

I want to be loved the way the sun sets,
How symbolically light bends through a mountain.
That in between the shadows and silhouettes,
Lies the strength and courage to love again.
