Goodbye.

Photo and drawing by Lizzy Lyons.

Goodbye, my dear sun,

I'll miss you so much;

But it isn’t my fault that

You didn’t notice me.

I’ll miss your sly laugh,

I’ll miss your warm touch,

But it isn’t on me that

You couldn’t see.

You shined too bright,

You got too hot,

Until you lost sight of what

I was.

I never stopped staying,

I was yours, you weren’t mine.

I was just never enough

For your unmatched light.
