MIDNIGHT DEW

That smile, that glance,
That walk, that look,
That puts me in a trance,
My world you shook.

So perfect, so fair,
With majestic, straight hair,
I thought you were mine for the taking,
But, alas, I was so wrong; my heart is breaking.

A feeling so pure, a feeling so true,
A feeling I have for few,
It was weird; it was great,
To spend my life with you, I thought was my fate.

So few of words, so full of power,
A power to overcome my desire,
To spend a night with you,
Under the moonlit sky; a fantasy, a blur.

And as you talk softly, so gracefully,
Time slows by, oh ever so slowly,
To hope that every second could be spent like this,
A wish, an opportunity I definitely would not miss.

So with all the sacrifices,
I was prepared to make for you,
Like a ship in the ocean wild that capsizes,
You declined me and broke my heart in two.

So in a barren desert you left me stranded,
Alone, confused and branded,
But no matter what you say or what you do,
My love for you, you have no clue.

But all I have to say before I go,
My love for you will forever flow,
As long as the Nile and as deep as the sea,
Without you, you know, I never will be free!
