Twilight Beckoning

So many things I would share with you
If only I could
So many moments drenched in golden sunshine
As we walked the path together
You, bathed in the warmth
Me, all smiles as the sun spilled across us.
So many things I want to hear from you
The story of your life
And how you came to be.
So much unknown
As if you could breathe life into your words
As if, as you spoke, colors came into being
And forms took their shape within us
And your stories could become mine too
If only you would share them with me.
But for now the sun fades
And the moon spills its shadows
Shields it secrets
And you and I walk no paths together,
Share no stories
Touch each other not.
Silenced and saddened
By the things that might have been.
