I waited for you in the night Holding my breath so wide awake The moon was high the stars shone bright I dreamt of holding you so tight Enough to fear two hearts might break I waited for you in the night Sent love messengers in full flight Adrift on ripples of the lake The moon was high the stars shone bright Two spellbound hearts to reunite Lovers winning big the sweepstake While waiting for you in the night Come to me quench my appetite Sweet love in store through till daybreak The moon so high the stars so bright Towards me comes my shining knight It's you at last it's no mistake I waited for you in the night The moon was high the stars shone bright AP: 3rd place 2020 Submitted on January 10, 2022 for contest FOREVER MY LOVE VALENTINE sponsored by BJ LEGROS KELLEY on February 2, 2020 for contest STRAND SELECT B sponsored by BRIAN STRAND - RANKED 1ST on January 16, 2020 for contest YOUR BEST 2019-2020 VILLANELLE sponsored by WILLIAM KEKAULA and on January 16, 2019 for contest VILLANELLE sponsored by NINA PARMENTER

This villanelle reminds me of the magical, mystical, qualities of the night, that somehow make love more romantic than any daytime scene. "the stars shone bright" might be the key. Good luck in Nina's contest, Line.
