Looking out into the window

Gazing into the midnight blue sky.

All I want is for you to come home

To wrap your strong arms around my waist

Protecting me from the evil called life.

I long to see your carefree grin

And hear the ringing sound of your laughter.

In the dead of night, when all is black

On the sheets, under the duvets

I dream, dreaming deeply, I dream of you.

You come to me with an outstretched hand

Offering me to join you, regardless of the rules.

Suddenly, as I reach out, you've disappeared from my sight

I'm startled awake, beads of sweat running down my face

Sitting on the bed, just before dawn, once again I am alone.
