Long Pine

Sometimes I miss her terribly 
I feel it in my soul
I stand outside and look at stars 
And watch as night clouds scroll

Across a dark and boundless sky
As crickets chirp a song
That sings of one who's pining
For her whom he does long

She's nestled deep inside my heart
Though no one knows she's there
She's always with me where I go
And all of me I share

I take her out for coffee
I fly her on a plane
I play for her by river banks
I shelter her in rain

And though these things are in my mind
Someday they might not be
And if that day should ever come
Ecstatic I would be
