As I lay here alone, on this dark empty night,
my mind unfocused, my heart taking flight,
I feel her presence swirling about the air,
I turn to look over, she is not there.

From the comforting pillows that help guide me asleep,
to her sweet scents that swirl about as I tally the sheep
All part of this painting I’ve worked hard to create,
The romance, the beauty and our unfulfilled date.

I try and look back to see what went amiss,
As tears start to swell, for I remember her kiss.
The passion we shared, was it all too real?
For I know then and know now, true love I do feel.

Her smile, her laughter, her skin so sweet,
A fantasy in love, for her, was my treat.
As time unfolded, and reality crept in,
Our bond took a toll, and unleashed the demons within.

Our love was tested, for why I don’t know,
Inside my heart, hope sank down below.
As I started to sense the water above,
Drowning, I pondered, does she feel true love?

Feeling scared and alone, as I gasped for air,
I reached for a buoy, but it was not there.
I pushed and I pulled and I prayed for a change,
Until praying so hard began to feel strange.

Deep in her heart, where the future resides,
Is a place I couldn’t reach, no matter how hard I tried.
Now my soul cries out on this lonely night,
as I lay down to sleep and turn out the lights.

I’m left with the memory, of what could have transpired,
A dream of forever, with a love I admired.

Good night, my love, wherever you are...
