If you asked me what I saw
That night that I saw you
I’d say I saw the setting sun
Above the ocean blue

I saw the sky begin to fade
As darkness took its hold
The stars above began to watch
Their gaze, a shimmering gold

I saw a star fall from the sky
A burning ray of light
It held within a beauty fair
Your beauty shining bright

I then beheld your forest eyes
The sage and emerald green
I saw inside a lawless sight
Within, you are the Queen

The wind, I heard it speak your name
The breeze, it told your tale
It whispered softly of your charm
Your skin, so soft, so pale

The birds above, they sing your song
They fly without a care
Above the clouds, you’re free to fly
You soar on wings of air

Down within the ocean deep
You swim among the fish
Alone, they give you one last chance
You’re granted one last wish

You wish to live your life in peace
A happy girl to be
You wish to find the one you love
If only you could see

But little did you really know
That standing by your side
Was one who’d give his life for you
In him you could confide

If you ever go away
I’ll lose my only love
Although I’m patient, you will see
For you, I’ll look above

From Dawn to Dusk, I’ll wait for you
In hope that you return
Though we may never meet again
For you, my love will burn
Written to a female friend of mine circa May 2013.
