farewell sun

As I walk away, you walk away
It's the end and theres nothing to say
I'm the horizon and you set like the sun
A glisten on the waves and you're gone.

T

With you,
I am the little girl with lunch packed, clothes laid out
all ready for a big adventure
barely sleeping for excitement

With me,
You are the busy-bee father with as many ties as excuses
good intentioned but overbooked
leaving me sitting on the curb alone

Eventually the little girl learns disappointment
breathes disappointment, expects disappoinment
but all the expectations in the world do not reassure her
when she is again disappointed in you.
