Why I Watch the Sunset

Sunset--300x225.jpg

Sometimes it hurts to watch the sunset

because I see and feel everything

I've loved and lost.

I feel what's moving away from me even now,

and I feel the longing for what's yet to come.

It opens me almost a little too far

and makes me feel almost a little too much,

and this is why it's hard to watch the sunset

and why I always do.
