I watch as the first blush of dawn Paints the sky in brilliant shades of beauty. Pink melts into gold, and I think of us. Melting into one another. Our love was the sunrise— brilliant, bright, and beautiful. casting light into corners of myself I hadn’t dared to examine in years. Every touch, every kiss, The way you managed to spread your light Into the darkest parts of my being. But I know soon the sun must set The light will fade away. Darling, I can feel the end approaching. The Sun kisses the horizon, A bittersweet farewell. And like all things that are beautiful, Your love must slip away with the sun. Now I stand here, Helpless and alone in the dark, my hands empty, the chill of night wrapping around me. But even in the stillness, I carry the memory of that light— the warmth, the beauty, the way it made me feel alive. Because even though the sun has set, and all good things must end, God, it was beautiful while it lasted.
