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.

My favorite times and all that I am could pour out on page when I am with my love in my room watching her sleep. Good right and wasted time is not so wasted with a love.
