I am here
And you are somewhere
Somewhere
Under the same stars
That I wish upon
Night after night
But the nights are lonely
And cold
Without you
And I shiver
Here alone
Alone in my dreams
With warm thoughts
Of you
And how it once was
Touching you
Holding you
Caressing you
Pressing my lips
Against yours
But my heart is filled with
Sadness
And broken dreams
That once where
Vibrate
And young
Like the blazing sun
And it is now
That I must face
This impossible task
Of my life alone
Without
You
And under those same stars
That no longer
Shine for
Me..
