A Sad Sunset
You were my sunrise and sunset,
I was so happy that we had met.
I loved the way you paid attention to me,
you made me feel loved, like a rare beauty
But somehow the tide changed,
we went from lovers to being estranged.
I went from being enough,
to a place of not enough?
When was it that you fell out of love?
You were my precious gift from up above.
I wanted to know your new lady?
Because you were acting shady.
I’ll eventually be ok with you not loving me anymore,
I need to know the reason you walked out of the door.
I wasn't prepared for your sobering explanation,
when you told me why you left I wanted it to be
my imagination.
You left because you didn't want me to watch you
dwindle away,
but I wanted you back no matter how dark the day.
It’s been two years now it was a sad sunset,
and I’m forever grateful that we met.
