If we can't be together tonight

 

Since we are not together tonight,

I will think of you as I lay in bed on my back

watching the ceiling turn into a mirror of my thoughts of

being with you.

 

I can see your lips smile when I tell you how sweet you are.

I can hear your sigh when I tell you how much I love this moment.

I can feel your hand on my cheek as you press your forehead against mine and kiss my lips softly.

​

I can see a single tear just because we are together, holding each other from sunset to sunrise.

 

The waves are crashing top over top

like flirting lovers, chasing one another,

recognizing the importance of the dance of distance.

​

They recognize that they grow together as they get closer to the shore,

as we are silent, the glimmering water reflects the sun one last time and awakens the moon to calm the waters hurry.

​

The cool breezes of night touch your face for the first time and your eyes shut slowly,

as I kiss your eye lids and say goodnight my sweetness.
