The night is lonely,
So am I,
Under the moon I sit quietly,
Just thinking of you,
Sad that our bodies have parted,
Yet not our souls,
You come in my dreams,
And I can't forget you,
I see only you,
As I close my eyes,
That just makes me remember you,
As I always I do,
I feel the evening breeze,
The breeze that reminds me of your fragrance,
I cherish your smile,
The smile that always lit me up in the darkness,
I wish we would have kept our promises,
The promises that now are broken,
Bitterness slowly filled my heart,
As I recall the togetherness with you by my side,
If not in this lifetime,then maybe in our next,
I know our souls will be together again,
To relive these beautiful moments that you have forgotton,
Under the moon sitting quietly,
Drinking wine together happily,
Forever and ever!
