Sunset

I think I've learned what a sunset looks like

It's something that has to fade

No matter how hard you try to keep it.

The hardest thing I've had to do

Is let you fade away

But unlike the sun

I know you can't come back tomorrow morning

In spite of all my crying,

It has to be night

For me

Indefinitely

I know I have memories

Of how brightly you shone in my life

But I'm afraid one day they will fade

And I won't even have the memories with me

But hopefully

For now

I will remember you

My sun, my world...
