Last Night

Last night alone

Here in the dark

Here in this room

I should be cherishing

This moment

Like a fine aged wine

I should be drinking the solitude

Celebrating this ending loneliness

Putting to rest the ghosts of

Yesterday

But you are on my mind

I want to rush to your side

Kissing away the sorrows

Upon your chest

I want you to know

Your hands are no longer

Empty

That someone

Understands more than words

Could convey

Someone understands

Those memories that bind

Our hearts to yesterday

Stealing us away from the present

And clouding our hope

Of tomorrow

The recollections of those

Dark nights so severe

Your whole body

Rocked with heartache

And you wondered if you

Would ever see the dawn

Someone understands and

Celebrates the possibilities of

Tomorrow

Someone sees past the

Darkness

Into the light of the soul

Where love flows

Like the river Xanadu

Last night alone

And yet we never were
