The Sun

The sun vanishes over the horizon, Leaving tear drops of light in the sky. I watch it sink - Solemnly, Sadly, Somberly - Past the mountains. Daylight is your face. I am in the dark now, Trying to thrive While you are not here. Your glow is addicting - It kisses my skin And caresses my hair In bright strokes of light. When you return to me, My days are filled With joy and laughter. When you leave me, My nights are lonely and dark. I wish I could spend All of my hours With you, but you leave me For the other side of the earth To bring light to other people. You are my sun, And I know I am your sun too. I miss you, my sun. Please come back to me.
