A Promise I Can'T Keep

The sun was setting with a breeze
Seductively sliding behind the trees
Watching his descent
Was quite the event
I witnessed a day to night striptease

He left me with the biggest grin
I must admit with some chagrin
Watching as he changed 
Glances were exchanged
I didn't mean to embarrass him

I just kept looking straight ahead
The entire horizon turned bright red
Tomorrow at sunrise
I'll apologize
Promising next time to turn my head

Brandy Nicole Date: 4/23/2023 5:25:00 PM Even though I know this was about the sun giving you a striptease, I'm turning bright red. (I'm smiling and blushing, all at the same time).
