In all the moments we part ways
you are the evening sun and I am the earth.
You bid me farewell, dallying farther down
the streets on a bitter night.
Your brilliant light dims
against the nebula that surrounds us,
and I find myself longing
for the balminess of your presence.
In a matter of seconds I watch
as you melt into the horizon,
till all that's left is the afterglow
of your everlasting resplendence.
