I

A Distant Night

As the raindrops whisper your name
while my heart's yearning drives me insane
the window provides a portal to the horizon
as the lightning flashes memories of your face
my thoughts belong to you
as my soul trembles from the absence of you
my flesh still remembers your touch
as the distance becomes the villian in our story
so tonight I'll immerse myself in sleep dreaming of your touch
Distance mock our hearts
as the night covers our distraught hearts
visuals of past meetings flow like a river
as raindrops leak down the window like a mini river
breath fogs the window
as I yearn for your heart's breath on my soul's window
my being belongs to you
as on this night I'll continue to desire you
Night engulfs the stars
as my heart makes a wish for you upon the stars
it dances on the air
while your absent being makes my heart pay a fare
feeling you missing me rips me apart
as i try to use this window to contact you
yet to no avail because distance prevails over me and you
