i saw it in our sunset.
i felt it in my veins all the way to my finger tips. the disappearing sun on my skin. and i lied there on the beach listening to those songs and i felt complete and happy. i saw the future and i saw light. we shared secrets under a towel. creating the safe place to say the things we always knew about each other, but were to scared to say. i said it all. and my tears didn't feel cold. sad. nostalgic like usual, but warm and i welcomed them to my face as he wiped them away. we lied there and he said he could see his reflection in my eyes. i looked up at the setting sun and saw life in front of me. life. love. and beauty. an old couple walked in front of us. who knows how long they had been together but they laughed and talked like years of marriage had not taken away all the love that brought them together. the old woman looked over at us and smiled, who knows why and what she thought or remembered, but as i laughed and saw her face i saw my reflection in her face. we could have been in a movie as we lied there for hours. talking. laughing. drinking. looking over and smiling. silently knowing that this was the beginning of many more sunsets.
