My Setting Sun (To the one who will never stop loving me)

My Setting Sun

(To the one who will never stop loving me)

Slowly the waves come calling to you

As your radiance gleams with every hue

Time is a cruel companion who comes

for a visit

Only with a question, can this be it?

For your time has been spent longing for us

While we moved on, never stopping to make a fuss

Strangers around us always knew your worth

With all your colors that brought forth mirth

Every shade that once shouted out brilliance

Now cries out to teach us lessons in resilience

You have walked on the waters of faith so long

Always hoping that we would come along

But now it is with gentleness that you linger

Not like a loud gong or a sharp splinter

You leave us a warmth for the coldness ahead

Without worrying about the darkness you will wed

Alas, I refuse you to let you fade away my lovely

For I don’t want to be dawn without a dusk

Because without you what am, I ask

Be forever my setting sun, until all of my life’s work is done
