A bit long,and rambling,but from the heart.

Sometimes I lay awake at night
Wishing ,wishing with all my might
Wishing ,wishing upon a star
Wishing ,wishing that you weren't so far

So far,so far,so far away
Far from the lonely bed where I lay.
Far away from this lovers nest
Far away from my naked chest

Far away from my arm so strong
Far away from my plaintive song
A plaintive song that I sing to you
To tell you of my love so true

A plaintive cry,softly in the night
A wish ,a wish,that I could hold you tight
Hold you tight,hold you tight,tight to my heart
So you know that we will never part.

But I look to the side
And you're not there
You're place in the bed is cold and alone
And you aren't there,I'm all on my own

On my own,on my own,on my own once again
On my own,laying ,trying to deal with the pain
Deal with the pain of wishing,and hoping,that my wish will come true.
That someday I will lay -asleep next to you.

I really like this... and identify with it so very much!  

And it's because I do like it so much that I ask if you meant "plaintive" (mournful, expressing sorrow) rather than plaintiff?

Welcome to Passions!

Thank you suthern for your lovely comment and
yes I did mean plaintive,I appreciate very much you helping me improve my writing by pointing out that grammatical error,it was a silly mistake to make.
Again thank you so much for your help and comments.
