Midnight

I closed my eyes,
saw you more clearly
let out a sigh,
I loved you so dearly

I looked at the stars
there were only a few
They said, "He may love you too,
if only he knew."

"He gave away his heart
A long, long time ago
It may still be with her 
That's all I know."

"He may mask it all
But I see through the wall
With his face, it's hard to say
But his eyes give him away."

This isolation,
this desperation
I long for him,
but my heart reeks sin.

Memories of that night
Are still a little hazy
But I remember
him next to me
the warmth of his love,
the rhythm of his heart,
the comfort of his hug,
and the serenity of his soul.

"Oh! Great you are finally here."
He said,"You are dreaming, my dear. "
