I am one for sunrises

I woke up today at 5:30 with an immense ache in my bones. It hurt too much to sleep, so I made myself a sandwich to see if that would help. It was pitch black then, and I waited to see if I could see the sunrise.
The roofs of houses blocked the horizon from my window, but I watched the colors... Red peaking up on a dark sky, changing to cotton candy pink and blue, then to light lavender everywhere. 
I watched the world brighten.
Who can bear to watch sunsets? Watching the sky decompose and the world go dark is so sad to me. In the end, after a long goodbye to color and light, you're stuck with darkness.
I am one for sunrises.
