Forever Longing

I never loved a sunset as much as I loved it with you.
 
Sitting here year after year wishing to see you.
We spent our summer holiday kissing under the stars,
Waiting for the sun to rise to take a brief moment apart.
 
I come here year after year hoping to see you again
My face with time faded with the rocks,
My eyes bear  lines of sadness, my soul is dark with grief
If only I saw you again, I'll finally have some relief.
 
I’ve been waiting and waiting for a very long time
Hoping, one day, you'll finally be mine.
The universe, the stars and the sky brought you to meet me,
and I don’t know why.
 
Like a cruel twist, they've taken you away and let my memory grow stronger everyday.
Its been so long and I still smell your hair and your breath and see your skin shimmer and gleem like a golden sunset.
Your fingers entwined with mine, laced forever till the end of time.
 
And yet you're gone, you've been gone a long long time,
I'll never forget you, never pretend to, you belong to my soul
Without you, I'm just flesh and blood, not a man, not nearly as whole.

Sometimes a sunset is nothing when staring it alone... Sometimes... But, C Stanley, you captured a true lovers image. I long for one day to sit with my soul mate and watch the sun set. Sad ending, when life takes a cruel twist, and slugs all memories down a hole..... beautiful and sad write... thanks for sharing both worlds... Linda
