Last Sunrise

As the sun rose above the ocean, you beside me
The air was crisp and clean and the world was quiet, still asleep
Before the rush and worry of the day began, a story ended
A beautiful goodbye, a brief eternity going out with the tide
In an instant, a change of title, the end of a chapter, an interlude
No hurt or hate or anger, only what would have been if….
So many questions but no answers, only this ocean vast and eternal
A friendship the same, with new beginnings and endings
Lessons and trials, successes and losses
A friend to share it, sitting next to me as the sky lit up
With hopes, with dreams, with possibilities…
While the world was sleeping, a story was ending
As it awoke, a new one begins
