It aches
To know
That in this
Difficult time apart
I cannot suceed
In making you happy
I know you wish you were here
And oh how I wish
That you were too
But in this time apart
I hope you feel my love
I hope that you see
Every laugh and smile as
My attempt to be happy
To prove my love and
Deep affection
My sweet love
I hope that one day
You'll see the world
A little brighter
I wish being yours
Made it so
But you dream
Of happiness
In each others arms
And until that day
Know that I love you
And that you will always
Be my sunshine
My star
In every night sky
You are my forever
And that
Will never change.

I've told you how I've always wanted to watch a sunrise.
From the very beginning,
when the night sky is a dark navy,
instead of black at one corner of the horizon.
I've also told you how I've always been to scared to be out in the dark alone.
Well, I finally got my chance to watch my sunrise.
I wish you could have been there to see it.
It was everything I've told you it would be.
I just forgot the mention how lonely it would be without you.

You came to me in evening
Enfolded still in the arms of the sun
With the dew of morning still on your lips
And your feet bare in the long grass

You came to me whispering promises,
When the last flower
Had given her offering
To the wind and scarlet butterfly

Dance with me in the garden
While the moon shines
You said,
Before the birds quiet
and the earth sleeps

And you caught my hand
In the rush of dusk
And gilded my hair with stars
While the crickets played in shadows
And the ladybugs watched
Curiously from fragile petals

But you were as spring
All light and innocence and mirth
And you danced on
As the moon waned
And the air grew chill

You danced on
As the pastels in my garden
Faded to gray
And the stars fell
Back into the sky

You came to me in evening once
And danced with me
In stolen hours of magenta twilight.
