A Day Too Long

She waited that night
By the setting sun
Unsure what to come
Her future
Unclear

He stood that night
From far away
Thoughts pace
His mind
Afraid

The moon came out
Stars shimmered bright
Ending the day
They ran
Home

She sat that morning
As the phone rang
In an outrage
Her ignorance
Seemed bliss

He waited that morning
Tried to explain
Just as nervous
His rejection
Did sting

If only
It wasn't
A day too long
How this ending
Would change

But sadly
It has to be
A day too long
For people
Like Her and He
