Words and Feelings

You are still awake
I’m looking at your windows
You know,
Never before have I waited
For the lights to go out
In other apartments
And given much thought
To this dazzling sensation
Or taken time to enjoy
The delightful sight
Of trifles left behind
On the bedside table…
Your hairpin…
The wrinkled pillows
Scattered in bed
The scent
Reminding me
Of the sighs and screams
Little swans your hands made
Squeezing the sheets
Never have I waited
For the lights to go out
In apartments next to yours
But tonight
Tonight I’m waiting
Feeling wonderful already
I need you tonight
I need you forever
I love you
You know, there are times in life
When everything becomes important
Every detail, every tremble
I don’t know why
But these moments now
Are those moments
You mean so much to me
And I enjoy every moment
Spent with you
I love you
