Leaving Now

I woke up at 3 to the sound of your voice 
You sung my name, oh what a joy

It gave me goosebumps when you sung it out loud
In a fashion so soothing, not boisterous or loud

But gentle, cajoling, almost beckoning me
To come and be near you where I long to be

I love to listen to your voice when you sing 
It does something to me, and to it I cling 

To recall it from memory again and again
And maybe for real someday...until then
