Cornfield Sunset

On comfy, pillowed couches 
We sat and watched the setting sun beyond the cornfield
Blanketing the meadows of greens and golds
Pastel hues emerged, in pinks and purples
Signaling the end of another beautiful summer's day 

Cradled by the gentle song of cricket chirps and waterfall trickles 
Night fell upon us
Sharing stresses and worries and similar stories
The warm, August breeze permeated and embraced the troubled hearts and minds of both of us

We chatted till the early hours of morn
Correlating and catching up
Just like old times
While the beauty of a cornfield sunset
And a moonlit serenade 
Soothed the wounds of two forever friends

I have felt the pain of break up and trying to move forward. I can say that healing comes and sometimes it paves the way for a much better person. It is so hard to let go but good job writing your feelings! Great poem that brings you to how that feels! Good job!
