Sunset and Sunrise

It's an evening to remember;

We watch the setting sun.

Fingers intertwined,

Your hand in mine,

Like we'd never let go.

Hesitant to part ways,

Reluctant to loosen

Our grip on love

Yet insistent on departing,

For I'm afraid of the night

And you will not walk me home

In the morning.

It's an evening to remember,

And the sky is changing color

Yellow, Crimson, Orange, Red,

And soon a deep dark black;

A fear, better faced alone

To confront and fight, 

Destroy and unite,

When we meet tomorrow,

In thoughts and words,

Once again, at sun rise!
