Summerset

The days are growing shorter,

the nights colder,

the winds stronger,

my resolve weaker.

The summer is ending

and I see that we are, too.

The season was summer,

when the butterflies began to flutter

through the air and now I shutter

as I take wing across this great expanse

and leave to be alone taken the chance

of not being able to make it on my own...

Alone.

Lost in the blur of the city

of the thousands of faces

but utterly and hopelessly alone

without you there to guide me 

without you there to lead me

without you to give me a home.

In your arms I found bliss

In your house, in your kiss.

Now your arms have gone away

I feel empty, nothing to say.

The summer is setting

The sun sets beyond the horizon

And the moon begins to shine above me

As I cry for the loss, cry for the pain

Cry to know there's no more dancing

Cause I'm headed out on my own

Leaving this place that I call home

And awaiting the sunrise

But knowing it won't be reflected in your eyes

But still over you and me, darling.

The summer may be setting

but this love will never fade.

There will always be a place in mind

and body and heart and soul

Just for you, just for us,

just for the summer we shared.

For today, for tomorrow, forever.

Summerset.
