late at night

 

Late at night,

As I gaze at the sky,

Lost in my thoughts

As the Universe spins by,

I think of you,

And I smile.

 

As I lie there and stare

at the twinkling lights,

Recalling our walks

and those beautiful nights

which we shared long ago

hand in hand

 

I find myself drifting

in a warm summer sea,

floating in the fragrance

of the flowers and trees;

Then I whisper your name

and I smile.

 

The sound echoes softly

On the tip of my tongue;

A taste of night's air

So lingeringly sweet,

Hinting perhaps,

Of the time we'll next meet…
