Tonight
You sit in your chair
your little book in hand
your face glowing from candles
the flame flickering from the fan
Being away from you for minutes
It feels like a year
that one day we'll split
that is my fear
So I'll focus on here
I'll focus on now
exchanging subtle smiles
constantly playing around
Thank you chief for each new day
being with me when it starts and when it's through
I sure hope you know,
I love you.
