As The Sun Fell Away

for one moment i thought i understood
everything that never made sense
to anyone before
but as i was holding on
you moved on to newer moments
and i just sat there
and watched the sunset alone
and i swear that the sun had all but died
on the edge of the sky
and i held out my hand to keep it from falling
but it melted through my fingertips
it slipped through my hands
forever was the moment when
it got darker and all i saw was your face
and you were laughing like you always do
and i wanted to hear just that
coming from behind the first star in the sky
but hey! where are you now
the world just emptied out
right in front of me
and i know that somewhere that i can't see
as the sun fell away
it rose up for you to see
