Watching The Sunset

Watching Sunsets

I standing here by my car

With tear streaked face

Watching the sunset

Wondering what went wrong

The day you left

The arguments we had

I can’t remember now

What they were about

Wishing I had another chance

To say the right things

Baby I’m standing here

Watching the sunset all alone

Wishing you would come back home

Baby I’m standing here crying my eyes out

Here on the beach, where we first meet

Wishing you were here with me

If I could boxed this sunset

Sending it by fed ex

Right to your door

Hoping you’d remember the good times

When we watched it together

I write this letter to you

With the smell of Victoria Secret

And a picture of us building night castles

Hoping you’d remember the walks

Getting our feet wet as the sunset finally sets

Baby I’m standing here

Watching the sunset all alone

Wishing you would come back home

Baby I’m standing here crying my eyes out

Here on the beach, where we first meet

Wishing you were here with me

rings of loneliness

melancholy, and loss. Left alone to watch the beauty of a sunset seems a tragedy. Editing note: "You was" should be "You were" Just little errors that can trip up a reader and distract them from the flow of the poem. ~ Ronda
