in the quiet of the night, under the whisper of the stars,
I pen down words, a voice from afar.
a song of love, gentle and still.
for my distant beloved, it’s you that I will.
who knows how long I’ve loved you, through time’s silent flow,
I do love you still, more than words could ever show.
will I wait a lonely lifetime? how the thought gives me chill.
but if you ask me, dear, indeed that I will.
for if I ever saw you, in dreams or in day,
I may not catch your name, as you might swept away.
but it never really mattered, for my heart stands still,
in it’s unwavering rhythm, I would always feel the same.
love you forever and forever, through every trial and hill.
love you with all my heart, with every passionate thrill.
love you whenever we’re together, time seems to stand still.
love you when we’re apart, in my heart you’re the one i will.
and when at last I found you, our reunion will fill the air.
your words, our hope, in the silence of my prayer.
say it loud so I can hear you, across the distance, until
it makes it easy to be near you, in love’s sweet, enduring will.
for the things you do, in every single way,
in every word, in every silence, in what you do and you say.
through the distance, through the longing, through everything until,
you know, my dearest, in every heartbeat, I will.
and as the night deepens, the moon witnesses from above.
I put my pen down to ’Tonight I’m in love.'
