Another Night Of You're Not Here

The lights are low,
I wish another kiss to you.
Inside I glow
but think of all that can not be.
I close my eyes.

My head is full
of every possibility.
Of course I know
why it can't ever last that long
I try to sleep.

Another night of you're not here.
Another bed of only me.
But I can dream that we will be,
that it's our destiny.
Another love I feel alone.
Another silence in my home,
but love like silence doesn't need
to last forever.

These recent days
you give me so much energy.
I think of sex.
I think of every word you said.
I try to sleep.

Another night of you're not here.
Another bed of only me.
But I can dream that we will be,
that it's our destiny.
Another love I feel alone.
Another silence in my home,
but love like silence doesn't need
to last forever.
