As The Red Sun Set

​As the red sun set tonight
I thought of you again
And there was nothing to be done about it really
No need any more to try not to feel
~ As ignoring my heart in an attempt to protect it
Has mostly just caused more grief.
I am learning lately that it's the thoughts that make us smile
Which guide us best to where we're meant
So I thought of your smile
Your laugh
Those few short hours
So many months ago
When we sat so casually close
And talked like old friends.
And yes it made me happy
Till I thought that I may not
Ever see you again in this life
And there's not much to be done about that either...
Because I'm not sure you were affected by our meeting
In the same way as I
And I don't want to be
That randomly obsessive girl
Who makes something out of nothing
So I'm trying instead to set you aside
Leave you alone
Put you out of my mind
And simply
Go blissfully
On with my life
It would be easier though
If I could forget about how
For a few short hours
It was more blissful to have you
Close by.
