MY DAY-LONG LOVE

This blessed dew-filled morning
Butterflies stopped to watch my heart step-dancing

Deep breaths filled my eager lungs
As my mind flew up to higher ranks

It's cause you rose with the sun...
And you shone so hot and bright
I felt no need to go out and run

...Not till sunset came in sight

The day is ending, tell me what now?
When it's done, where do we go?
My sweat feels heavy on my brow
I find myself wanting to scream out; 'NO!'

Will l run home and look through the peep hole?
Look through, into your tear-filled eyes...
Boring into...reading the letters of my soul?

Will i break down and cry again?

Knowing....

We're both sad...sad to watch as our day dies...
