I fell in love when the sun didn’t set
And everything was so fresh
to be a novelty

The sun sets now.
We both hurry
to our own agenda
counting the remaining days
a checklist of people to see
and things to do.

I push and pull
Packing the baggage to leave behind
and what, if any, to carry on

You ride each wave cautiously
Patiently
I could learn to be like you
instead I throw myself into every conflicting motion
It might be part of the reason that you like me,
had you more time to know
underneath I am as stable as the sun;
it will be dark again soon
but my love won’t fade.
