I cannot hold a sunset

Before the sun had set
And while the sky weeps with gold
There is a memory so dear
In the scene in do behold
A face long lost and gone for good
But one I can’t forget
He was the love I longed so for
And I, the love he never met
A gentle passing breeze sweeps the ground
My skin
My hair
And for one solitary moment
It almost feels as if he’s there
There is a song that soothes me
In the rustling of the leaves
And for just one still moment
My heart forgets all that it grieves
But I cannot hold the sunset
Nor can I catch its amber glow
But never shall my heart forget
The love it didn’t know.
