The end is really only the end
Of the beginning; it is after that
When the story really starts.

Riding off together into the sunset,
You soon notice that the Sun
Is actually getting further away
As it disappears from view, leaving
A darkening night to get through;
A way to find without light.

And when the Sun returns, it is
Behind you, and everything looks
Different.

A happy ending is a challenge:
Do your choices still feel like
The right ones even after
The world stops watching?
