Sunset

The sun is setting,
we know our time is spent.
Darkness is coming,
and we must now part.
Never thought it would end this way.
Never thought it would end at all.
We were the kind couple
fairy tales are made of.
You, my knight in shining armour,
me, your Princess.
Cruel that we'll never
have our happily ever after.
But time has a way of
stealing things from us.
No i don't blame you,
like they say everything
with a beginning has an end.
The sun must rise
and so it must set.
We had dreams of
growing old together,
and in a way we have.
What we've been through
taught us things
only age would know.
You tell me over and
over again you're sorry,
You'd do anything to take it back.
It was a one night stand,
months before we met.
Now you lay dying in my arms.
fate's ripped you away from me.
No I still don't blame you.
Hush love, its almost dusk.
if we must talk,
lets' speak of what we had.
am not sorry am dying too.
It was worth it,
loving you.
