I Miss You Tonight

Walk with me. In the night -
with the blue mist around us, your hand in mine.
Speak to me tonight
of the light thrills that made your day bright.

Sit with me tonight
for a lazy dinner, with music and wine
Hold my hand tonight
kiss and love my fingers, only for you they write.

Cradle me in your arms tonight
for I feel lonely, my poise takes flight
in the spinning spiral of your absence.
I walk the streets searching for you, stripped of all pretence;

I smell your hair and your breath in the wind
that sighs in trees entwined.
Fear taps hollow drumbeats in my heart
I miss you tonight; I can’t bear to be apart.
