A Day Not Ending

A pebble
strikes your
window pane,
softly in the
night

While you
are gently
sound of asleep,
and tucked away
all tight

The wind
it blows
so subtly,
through the
trees it sweeps

I hate to
come, in this
the night, and
steal you from
your sleep

But to
my dreams
I couldn’t go,
for my heart it
could not rest

It started
me up and
out of bed,
and got me
quickly dressed

It brought
me down outside
your house, the
pebble it also
threw

For I
can’t let you
end the day,
without hearing,
I love you
