Waiting for the sun to set before this picturesque view,
The sand, the sea, the sky — all perfect.
The only thing missing is you.
I would sail across to reach you on the other side,
If only you hadn’t asked me to wait.
Time flies, and with every passing hour
I anticipate what might be our fate.
But thank you for slowing me down
So I could see the bigger picture too —
The quiet beauty of this moment,
The serenity and peace
Of not having you.
