seems so long ago

watched the sunset tonite

felt like i was visiting an old friend

seems so long ago that i was working in my cave

sunsets and sun itself was a luxury

and yet when i was in the sun

it was so hot

not my friend

but a torturer

for i had no time to enjoy

the warm richness

of a sunny day

or even the semi-cool evening

seems so long ago

that i dreamed of being in paradise

where the sunset is beautiful

the warm gentle nite breeze

is so refreshing

the water beats on the shore

and invites you in

share my warmth

share my energy

let me revive you

the briskness of a wave

lapping at you

gently pushing you around

seems so long ago

it seems as if the pain

lasted so long

it heals oh so slowly

the hurt remains

but i am comfortable

wearing it now

i don't see her face

in my dreams

i don't get constant

little reminders of her

oh no i haven't forgotten

our love is still in place

but she allows me to live

to have new love

to have new pain

she doesn't try to pull me back

but everyday

i realize i can't

feel her

or hear her

she can't help me

make it thru the day

or nite

so am i sad

do i miss her

sad no

miss her yes

is she gone

not from my heart

but from my side

seems so long ago

to not be able to look in her eyes

or hear her voice

do i understand

no

do i accept

yes

i move forward

and at times

it seems so long ago

but right now it feels like

just a minute later

no now it has passed

it is dark and

i think of sleep

and what a great sunny day tomorrow will be

with a chance for a another

average beautiful sunset

seems so long ago
