The Sunset

The Sunset
dedicated to .marshmallows

The sunlight was perfect, you said
washing over my face at just the right angle
Then you kissed me like you meant it
And I know that you meant it

Just a couple of minutes, you said
turned 28 magical hours filled with butterflies,
75% happiness, 75% sadness
100% perfect

You make me happy, you said
and when it was 1:11pm,
you closed your eyes
and made a wish

I wish I could lie forever with you
lost in a sea of green grass and playful clouds during the day
and at night, serenaded by quiet fireflies,
melting into your warm embrace

I will remember forever
kissing your sweet strawberry lips
sharing cinnamon yogurt-covered raisins
gazing into those blue eyes that tamed my fiery spirit

Songs fill the evening air
and I sing to you softly,
waiting patiently and faithfully
for the sun to rise again.
