Silhouette

In the dimming light of day
Just before the night
The final rays from sun's set
Illuminate the sight 
Of you, who's standing facing west
Your back is turned to me
Approaching I call out your name
But you don't turn to see

You move your hair from off your neck
My lips contact your skin
Vanilla rose at sunset
Fills the space I'm in
Then finally you turn and look
Our eyes lock on halfway 
And then you fall into my arms
All night right there you stay
