I will try to tell a story

It all comes to the ending.

Sun rising behind me,

  reflecting across the water.

Tired,

 but smiling.

Last night was graduation,

 but I only stopped for a moment.

The obvious play would be to stop.

Just join the party.

This is me.

I have a case of beer on ice,

 and I want to be alone.

(I was parked before I opened the first beer.)

The past few years have left a mark.

This is not moaning about the past,

  more a simple reflection.

Remember when I mentioned the ending?

While looking across the water,

 I can't help but look back.

I have seen a friend's father die,

  while saving others.

Helped a teacher during her final moments.

  She knew she was going.

  It tore us up.

I can't go on with this.

I want to watch the reflections on the water.

Those quiet moments are good moments of reflection and just the setting sun on the water.
This has a melancholy feel to it. Like a page turned to end a chapter that you're not ready to end.

I like to think all of us have those moments.

Yeah. We do.
