Night Comes Too Soon

 

How can this be twilight?

You who brought sunshine to my days,

What do I do when the night comes?

 

Our friendship is based on experiences,

We shared so many during our years together.

Will memories be all that I have left?

 

I’m not ready for you to go yet.

I want, I need, to bottle your sunshine.

How will I stay warm when the night approaches?

 

You are the answer to all my prayers;

The reason to awaken each morning and smile.

Your light is the essence of my life.

 

They tell me that your sunset is near.

Like a thief, I will steal away all of our moments together,

I will hold you in my arms until the light come’s for you.

 

Wait for me in the light,

I will look for you when my day is done.

We will walk again in sunshine, one day.
