For Me

Waiting for the sun to set
Waiting for the day to end
Feeling the warmth of it all
As I soak it all in

All the moments of the day
All the love that I gave
Was it enough?
Was it right?
Have I been true to me,
And most of all, true to you?

The struggle is real
Not just the way that I feel
But the moments I live
And the words that I share
Say more about me
To the world that I care
But it's never enough
And the truth can be rough
And daily I find
That I'm not always happy in mind

Yet my spirit is lifted
When I turn to you
When I return outside
To the natural I find
It acts as a glue
A connection to you
And though the sun drifts away
On this glorious day
I wait to see
What tomorrow brings me

The sun will set
But you will not forget
That I am here
As I try to draw near
Clinging to you
And all that you do
For me
