Tonight I cried over a sunset.
It all started with an idea of a walk.
I wanted to walk far away from the place
That you had broken my heart at.
At a place that didn't have the reminder
Of our love, infesting the spaces
With unwanted memories of a time
When I believed I had the whole world.
I wanted to sit and watch the sunset
To spend time with myself.
Just like we agreed we would.
I reflected on my day, giving
Myself all the love that I needed.
But then I thought about how the day
Was ending, how i could restart
In the morning and I thought
How sad. How absolutely fucking
depressing Sunsets are. I thought about
How the best days of our lives
Eventually, come to an end,
Punctuated by pink and orange skies
That are so beautifully brutal.
How The worst days of our lives
Are ended with a beauty we can't appreciate
Just painful sighs and wishing
For a sunrise to start all over again.
I wonder how many sunsets I'll have to see
Until I can have you again.
I wonder if one day I can look at a sunset
And I can feel content with the day ending
If one day I can look at a sunset
And know that I can walk back home
walk by all of our memories
Straight into your arms again.
