Setting Sun
The sun is setting
As I turn to walk away
Stopping long enough to see
Your smile and
Your eyes
One last time.
Wanting to see you
Again
Tomorrow
Yet knowing the day will not come
Again.
It is not because we ended things.
No, our love is too strong for the final curtain.
Life as we know it is saying goodbye,
Leaving our love to linger
In the universe.
What is left to say when love has shared all?
Let me look at you
Again
As the sun sets.
Love is the guest of honor
This last time.
Honesty
Joy
Kindness
Respect
They are all invited to this party
Once more
Hovering over a world that loved too little
Too late
And sometimes too long.
I love you.
I have loved you.
I will always love you.
I believe our love will live on.
I thank you for loving me
As I thank God for our love
Again.
As the sun sets
