I have finally come to accept

That the warmth of the sunset

Only brings forth the cold of the night.

The warmth that I felt when you and I met

The cold that tore through me the moment you left

I realized that was what sunset felt like.

-

I loved you in the dusks and the dawns

The love that was with me, the love that is gone

The love I could never forget.

I loved you from our first day to our last

The love of my present, then my past

Love’s only mistake is regret.

-

The day that I told you I was scared of the silence

You held me and you made me feel less

Afraid of the things I could fear.

But the same exact fears that you silenced

Have not at all left my mind since

The day our love disappeared.

-

I miss you a little, I won’t deny it

I miss you although I try to hide it

I miss you more than I’d like to admit.

All I have now is the memory

Of the pieces you left inside of me

Still broken the way that you left it.

-

I’ve long learned to live with

The pain of the pain that I’ve lived

You’re already gone, but it stayed.

I’ve long learned to live to

Pretend that you took it away with you

Pretend and pretend, I’m okay.

-

The days that have gone by

The way that the sunset turns into night

All that we were is now over.

The days that have gone by

The dreams that we dreamed, you and I

I dream of the days that once were.

“Ah, Perry the platypus!”

“What an unexpected -“

“WAIT, WAIT, WAIT!”

“You’re trapped!”

“By societal convention!”

“Look! We’re in a fine dining environment. Everyone knows not to throw a scene in a fancy restaurant!”

“That’s right. You’re trapped. Sit down.”
