A sense of urgency rises inside,
I know you cannot stay. 
But the day is drawing to a close;
And I want you know
It's okay to go. 
To go with the sun.

Just the night before
The sky was painted with a thousand colours,
As if the Universe wanted you to have 
One last beautiful sunset. 

And yet today
The sky is heavy with a thousand tears
As if the Universe refuses to accept your
One last beautiful breath. 

As I look outside
The sky is blanketed with the darkest, thickest clouds
As if the Universe is having
One more chance to stop you from leaving.

But I know you cannot stay. 
And as much as I don't want you to,
It's okay to go.
Go with the Sun.
