The Night Stand

Who knows what sort of thing,
Did wake me once again,
I search for my pad of paper
And my special writers pen.

I feel as if you've come to me,
In the middle of the night,
Lingering just long enough
To see the words I write.

The thoughts were merely fragments
Of the loneliness I see
Each and every time,
You go away from me.

Then I realize, all is well
And that you have come to me
In the middle of my dreams,
The place you always seem to be.

Our rendezvous is captured,
Scribbled out, longhand,
Loving thoughts of you and me
On a pad by the night stand.
