Sunset

Hesitant, I look up at the sunset, Hoping he doesn't catch glimpse Of the look in my eyes. The first time I saw you; Your rays burst the sky a blue hue, I'd glance in adoration, Quietly feeling every breath Of blind warmth. I would find myself wishing for clouds To transparently block you, Just for the chance of an undiscovered Sighting. I shared small, precious moments of Bigness and of discovery, If only for a second or so, When you accidentally shone over me. All this time, Through all my Awkward bliss, You've been cascading, Cascading. Blinking tight, I gather all that I've ever felt uncomfortable with And trade my uneasy glances For one, single Unwavering gaze. My legs begin to shake, But this weakness feels almost fitting. With those insecure moments behind me, I just stand, Just stand and gaze into you, My forbidden sunset.
