He wants to say "I love you,"
But keeps it to "Goodnight."
Because love would mean some falling,
and she's afraid of heights.

Goodnight my dear
I'll dream of you
I know I will
I always do
A dream of you
Is nothing new
But I love them
Just like I do you

Little thoughts and notes we write
A wish good morning, a kiss goodnight
Between us two, no one can see
Nor can by anyone perceive
Don't ever feel you have to say
Or put your heart out on display
To me, I'll love you anyway
Someday we will, someday, someday

The house is not the same
Without having you here
No how was your day honey
Or holding you near
No kiss on the lips
To wish you goodnight
I can't wait till your home
To hold you so tight
It's been only a day
But I want you to know
How happy you make me
For I love you so

A whisper came into the night
A lovely whisper he breathed
Chills run like a marathon
A stroke of his hand move my hair outta my eyes so gently
He says my name as I say his Breathtaking becomes the night
Dreams evolve within a goodnight kiss till another in the morning
A whisper came into the night

A morning bouquet of new poetry
Sweet precious bluebird for your eyes to see
I hope that the path of your flight yesterday
Didn't change course with me in any way
I waited and waited for your bid goodnight
Then finally gave up and turned out the light
Curled up in my chair staring into the black
I hope today bluebird that you're coming back

Sitting at my thinking spot
Sun is going down
Thoughts of you abounding
No one else around
Birds are singing happily
Joyously in flight
Maybe one of them is you
Who's come to say goodnight
Kiss me so that I can dream
Dreamy dreams of you
Come and land inside my heart
Until my days are through
Then spend part of eternity
A hundred zillion years
Singing for me, that would be
Music to my ears

Remember when I said "I love you"
Think of me in a good light
When it was only just us two
Kiss me and let's say "goodnight"
I know we're both tired and upset
And wanting to go separate ways
You are the best person that I've met
And I hope we will have better days
These trials that we have to go through
Are drifting us further apart
Remember when we said our "I Do's"
I love you with all of my heart.

Come to me my darling
Let my kiss your face
And shower you with lilacs
Too many for a vase
I love the person who you are
I long to hold you tight
To carry you when you are tired
To sing to you goodnight
To take your burdens as my own
To do things as a team
To love on you with all my might
To live with you my dream
Your troubadour is waiting
His pen is in his hand
Ascribing poems day and night
To you his lady grand

Sleep Sleep Sleep and dream of distant thunderstorms.
Rest into the warmth of my arms.
Whisper when you wake. I want to feel your breath on my chest.
Smile, because today we will conquer our world, together.
Love is yours to hold and I will hand it to you with joy and sincerity.
Kiss my lips, so I may feel your soft and kind heart
Beat Beat Beat goes our own drum, that we wish to dance to.
Sleep and Dream, Goodnight.

So many ups and downs and turn arounds and still you hold me to the ground,
And I know I won't do things always right,
And I know I repeat mistakes more than twice,
And apologies are not enough sometimes,
But if you're willing to be around even after the argument ends,
I'm ready to give in,
And do what you want that''ll make us stronger than when the argument first began,
Because by the end of the evening,
I want to be able to hold you tight,
look you in the eyes and kiss you before we say goodnight.

Take this note to her, my dove
It contains all my love
Be careful, hold it very tight
Drop it off to her tonight
Outside her window knock until
She hears you out there by the sill
And when she comes to see who's there
Tell her you've a word to share
Make her bend her ear real close
Then ask her who might she suppose
Sent you to her quite like this
If she says me give her a kiss
And if she doesn't say 'twas me
Present the note for her to see
Then before she's anything to say
Say goodnight then fly away

What a time I had away
When I was with you every day
From "Good morning" to "Goodnight"
Then in my dreams you did excite
Now I confess I did pretend
That you were much more than a friend
My special girl you were for sure
I brought your latte, held the door
And in the moments by myself
I took my book from off the shelf
I read and lived it for that time
For in those moments you were mine
And if one day you ever are
My love for you will raise the bar
Sweep the cranny! Clear the nook!
There'll be no more need to have that book

As darkness reaches its depth
A song's produced by your voice
In my mind the lyrics forever kept
Not because I have no choice
Between your hands hugging me tight
I fell asleep through a lullaby
In my dreams you said goodnight
'til tomorrow comes, it was goodbye
In every time I go to bed
I hear it all over again
The only music in my head
Were the words which give me pain
It was beautiful to hear
A song before I sleep
For I somehow know you're near
In my heart, forever I will keep.

Can we meet again?
You, wearing your black jacket;
Me, empty in mind or thought.
You ask what I want.
I want long hours of chatter.
Know you are happy,
even when I am not.
Can we meet again?
This time, both of us touch each other's souls, holding on and never letting go.
Should a heartbeat book an appointment?
A touch of soul, a set time?
Funny how milk tarts are sweet, but can't tweet.
I'll always call to say goodnight.
I hope your phone can keep voice notes.
One day, my words will matter.
It is not a fling, only that our hearts are still pink.

Goodnight sweet princess
Fare ye well
Maybe I'll dream
Who can tell?
But if I have a dream of you
I'll tell you in the dream what's true
For in my dreams I speak my heart
And never leave out any part
The words I say come from my soul
They fill a cup with love that's whole
And never once did you disdain
Or ever ask me to abstain
But take my streams of words in stride
Yet keep yours in and choose to hide
The way you feel, not show your hand
It has to be, I understand
But if once in a while you feel you can
Show me one card from that hand
I don't care if it's just a two
It's a royal flush if it comes from you

I'd open every door for you
To let you go in first
I'd give you all my water
So you would never thirst
I'd play you every song you love
And ever longed to hear
I'd be right there beside you
So you would never fear
I'd work inside your shadow
So you could have the light
I'd kiss you and caress you
Before I said goodnight
I'd teach you everything I know
I'd take you every place
I'd share my deepest feelings
Stand open to your face
I'd want for you to lean on me
When things for you got tough
I'd hold you and support you
Make smooth out of the rough
I'd write you little poems
That spoke of my great love
And follow up by telling you
You're all that I think of

Always kiss me goodnight
And know that it's true
When I speak these four words
I'll Always Love You
We won't always agree
We may argue and fight
But regardless of that
Always kiss me goodnight
As a man I'm not perfect
And at times I'll forget
A date that I shouldn't
Still we're quite the duet
My thoughts may seem strange
Some black and some white
But we'll make it work out
When you kiss me goodnight
Please accept me for me
Imperfections and all
I'm best by your side
While we're standing tall
If I should lose track
Of what we had in sight
You can pull me back in
With a soft kiss goodnight
I love you so much
You lift my heart like a kite
Yet I'm grounded when you
Kiss me goodnight
Let's meet in the middle
And I'll turn out the light
As we end our day
Always kiss me goodnight

A Living Room; Incomplete
Like a dark brown leather couch
Always there
at the end of a very long day
So comforting, just to see you
So welcoming, I despair
As I finally cross the threshold
to a face, I wish were home
My focus, drawn to brown eyes
In essence, we’re alone
Such depth, within your iris
That the world just disappears
Such strength, you give in kindness
I’m at peace
As you’re holding me in comfort
and I’m drifting off to sleep
I imagine that your fingers
brush softly on my cheek
So gentile are your lips
as you whisper me; goodnight
I long to hear 'I love you'
But, I’m not the one you feel, is right (for you)
Like a dark brown leather couch
Always there
at the beginning of another day
So comforting, are your brown eyes
But sadly, I despair

An unseasonably warm November day
In my yard the unsuspecting kids play
Left in my loving care with words unsaid
Unaware of the tears they would shed
Future's written, words are hurled
Only eight but a girl of the world
Hair of gold, no worries, no cares
Not ready for what life would bear
Where's daddy?, He didn't say goodnight
It's not like him, it doesn't seem right
Something's wrong, I need him now
Take me to him, take me right now
My tears did fall that very night
My brother walked into the light
Taken too soon, no chance to fight
A child's nightmare, an uncles fright
Fourteen years and the tears still fall
His life was perfect, he had it all
A wife, two kids, God his right hand man
Succumbing to the fate of His master plan
My heart still bleeds for my sweet little niece
Goodbye my daddy, may you rest in peace

As I get ready to say goodnight, before the lights go off
I whisper words across the room and send them on aloft
The words I speak express my love to ears that cannot hear
But if you could here's what you would if you were standing near
I love your sense of humor, I love the way you talk
I love your perseverance, I love it when you walk
Into the room and I look up and see you coming in
Pretending I don't notice but goosebumps on my skin
Emerge and cause my heart to pump, beating out a song
To the rhythm of "I love you", and for your love I long
I love the way you use your voice, I love it when you call
My telephone reveals your name and then I center all
My focus on the voice that's on the other end
Pretending we're together and so much more than friends
There's lots and lots that I can tell, lots more that I can say
But this poem is already long, so I will another day

Never Got the Chance
By
Kevin L Fairbrother
I’ve moved on for I never got the chance
To share the feelings I have deep down
My wounded heart bears the pain
For there is a chance we will never meet again
We shared the moments of our past
We conversed about our travels our hopes
For the future is unknown to us all
We live our days and our dreams untold
But a spark was born but failed to ignite
Moments of compassion, moments of care
Holding hands, bodies close and entwined
Together we felt as one with what was unfolding
Kissing and cuddling holding each other so tight
We could have reached the heights we so desired
But the pain and loss of the past tempered the flame
For it was not to be, for the past hurt was real
You became reserved went back in your shell
The time and place was not right for you
I understood, I could not bring myself to hurt you
I walked away saying goodnight sweet dreams
You left, you ran away with the past haunting you
We never got a moment or a chance to say goodbye
But I have the memory of those magic moments
Moments of chance that I will always remember

I'm not just going to put the work in, I'm going to give you overtime
Tonight is all about you so close your eyes
Tonight I'm going to please your body, as I already know your mind
I'm not just going to put the work in, I'm going to give you overtime
I know you've had a long day
A few people have spoke to you the wrong way
So there will be a bath waiting for you when you get home
Then come into the bedroom with nothing but the towel on
Then it's to the bed we go
As I kiss you everywhere from head to toe
My tongue is the best way
To take all of your stress away
I don't need to go into further details, but tonight is all about you
By the end of the night the neighbours will know my name
If there's anything I can do to make you happy, tell me what I've got to do
Tonight is about taking away all of your stress and pain
Then I want you to fall asleep in my arms
Kiss your forehead, to say goodnight, while you sleep with your head on my heart
Knowing you're warm, happy and safe
All that matters is you're happy and in the safest place
I'm not just going to put the work in, I'm going to give you overtime
Tonight is all about you so close your eyes
Tonight I'm going to please your body, as I already know your mind
I'm not just going to put the work in, I'm going to give you overtime

A kiss goodnight, my love,
as we blow out the romantic candle light,
as we turn down the lamplight,
as the wind whistles outside our window,
let us kiss goodnight.
A kiss goodnight, my love,
a kiss goodnight is all I ask for,
we shall lay together
and we shall dream together,
your soft lips kiss my lips,
and your arm lay across my chest;
you can feel my heart beat,
it beats for you, my love.
A kiss goodnight, my love,
for tomorrow will be anew,
and I shall pick hundreds of spring roses for you,
and in comparison to a sweet spring rose,
you shall be more beautiful than ever,
even if a thousand spring roses put into one giant spring rose,
there shall be no comparison.
A kiss goodnight, my love,
for tomorrow shall bring rain or shine,
tomorrow you shall be carried in my arms,
through beautiful gardens of roses and lilacs.
Tomorrow I shall kiss you a thousand times over,
and a thousand times over I shall love you.
For tomorrow shall bring a thousand kisses,
but tonight there shall only be one.
A kiss goodnight, my love,
a final kiss to seal of todays' adventures,
of wondrous times and loving affairs.
A kiss goodnight, my love,
and we shall go to bed and dream a thousand times over,
and dream a thousand dreams over we shall live,
with only one kiss goodnight.

I know he did you wrong, but I'm not to blame
Give me a chance and see that I'll take away the pain
I know he did you wrong and didn't make you feel any worth
Girl give me one chance, and I'll make you forget you've been hurt
We've all been hurt you're not the only one
I promise I won't let you down if you put your faith in me
Your heart is safe with me
Let me be the one to stay by your side, so you won't be the lonely one
You're used to drama in love, but we'll have less fights and more sex
Every night give you kisses before bed
As my way of saying goodnight, I'll give you a kiss on the forehead
When I have to go out, I'll give you kisses on the door step
I'll hold you tight and won't let you go
Keep you warm when you're cold at night when I get you close
I want to tell you everything about me, so you'll know me better than anyone in the past has known me
I'm so into you, that you'd think I was Fabolous back in 03
When you Cry I'll wipe your tears
I'd say how I'd use my tongue, but we don't need to go there
The world doesn't need to know that
I just want to make you happy, so give me a chance to show that
I know he did you wrong, but I'm not to blame
Give me a chance and see that I'll take away the pain
I know he did you wrong and didn't make you feel any worth
Girl give me one chance, and I'll make you forget you've been hurt
