Shall I compare us to the sun's warm rays?

The warmth, the glee, the meadows we would grace,

I wish it could endure more than mere days,

Imagine the benefits we might embrace.

Joyous glee will be forever lasting,

There will never be a reason to hide,

In the night, flowers will not be wilting,

Why would we, with the sun in the darkness, abide?

But if I keep chasing your warmth westward,

Will I never witness the Setting Sun?

Because I know the joy dissolves eastward,

The shining stars make me feel tired, done.

Until you change your mind, I'll sit alone,

facing eastwards, longing for the sun that once shone.
