Sunset Lovers

The sun’s fading light, brilliant colors of the sky

Reflecting off the ocean, bringing the cool night

Few stars begin to shine, being so hesitant at first

They’re unseen, being hidden by jealous city lights

All along the beach, two lovers notice the tiny stars

Walking alone, making footprints in the moist sand

They hear the roaring waves, they see beach flowers

Forgetting the outside world, together hand in hand

Yet when clouds are coming, hiding moon and star

The two run to escape the rain, hiding under a tree

Water is relentless, they’re soaked but they laugh

But who cares about rain? They are happy just to

Be together with forgotten stars and lonely moon

Knowing with the dawn, they will part too soon
