In the Night

I awaken, Somewhere deep in the night, My leg wrapped over yours... I smile in the darkness, All is right... My mind in silent counterpoint, To your soft and soothing snores, It's so peaceful and quiet, And your heart is close to mine... I don't care what's going on in the outside world, Your nearness is sublime... The radio quietly plays a song That from that moment on, Will link me to this bliss, You may disappear in my future, But tonight I savor your eternal kiss.. I prop up my head, in this love warmed bed, And paint a mental picture, One to last me through Future lonely nights, And be a lifetime fixture, Of when love warmed my bed, And glowed about my room, And happiness seemed complete, If only such a moment could come again, As one I could at will repeat... But life's a bit more cynical, And often leaves its own bad taste... And despite those golden nights of love, In essence it seems a waste... Now I know not if my existence, Might have touched someone, And enriched another's life... I only remember that night of love, And wish you were my wife.
