Sometime after midnight
a sudden ache for you
Steals into my heart
quiet and true
I lay there wondering
in the still of the night
If somewhere
you too
feel this silent plight
Does your heart flutter
does your soul call out
In the whispers of darkness
does it shout?
Do you lie awake
with thoughts of me
Lost in the echo
A yearning so deep
it colours my dreams
In the silence
your name softly gleams
Sometime after midnight
under a velvet sky
I ache for you
and wonder why
Do you feel this pull
this tender strain
In the quiet moments
a sweet
soft pain?
Do you lie there
restless as I do
Wondering if
I’m aching for you too?
