Sunsets, Sonsets

Why do I still miss you
Why does my heart still wish 
For sunsets when our eyes met
Why do I still hold on to memories of feelings 
Long set and still I wish our eyes met
So you’d see the emotional turmoil 
You’ve left and my sun still sets
And I still wish that our eyes met
On that sunny day the rains came
So you’d see that my love was still strong
And my heart still longs to love you
And my arms still ache to feel 
So I don’t have to deal with this hurt
So I won’t have to seek to feel 
Anything for you
So it doesn’t ache to feel
These things for you

And I still wish for sunsets
For when our eyes met
That first night
In spite of  past hurts
And past flirts with danger
Still suns rise
And I fell into those beautiful eyes
That time we first kissed
If I knew I’d still miss
These sunsets with you
And those last times I laid with you
My soul still kneels and prays for you
For the days when our eyes met
But my sun still sets

Cause we made our son set
Or was it our daughter…
