The Girl And The Sun

Pinks, Purples, and Blues

I'm gonna tell you a love story
-almost a love story
between a girl and the Sun.
It goes as follows...

Every night at the crack of dawn
The girl would stare up at the dark sky, as the stars disappeared- she waved goodbye to the moon.
The pinks, purples, and blues radiating as the sun pierced the night sky.
Her heart filled with ecstasy at the sight before her very eyes
she was happy- the Sun had returned.

Legend says every evening as the Sun prepared to depart and the Moon came home- the two would promise to meet again.
And just as beautifully as it arose, the Sun set,
pinks, purples, and blues fading as the stars reappeared one by one.

They say this cycle repeated for many many years
Until one day, as the Moon arose
The girl forgot her promise to the Sun.
Vanishing out of sight as the night sky resurfaced- she ran

Chasing the pinks, purples, and blues with her promise in her hands.
Her heart filled with sadness as the sunset slowly became more and more out of sight
But she didn't stop running.

What happened? Did she succeed?

Well,
Optimists say she reached the Sun and the two set together into eternity,
Dreamers say she sits at the edge of the world holding onto her promise, awaiting the Sun's return,

But the truth is
She is still running
