"Pleased To Leave Ya"

I'm still here
Sitting by the harbor
Watching burning stars
And wishing they were larger.
Hoping to be found
Waiting out the black night,
With my old guitar
And just a small light inside.

choruse:

I've waited long
Just for a night like this,
I sing this song
And wish for summer's last kiss.

I'm still there
Singing by the harbor,
Watching your brown eyes
I'll hold you awhile longer.
Let's talk of our plans
Reaching past this last night,
It's almost gone now
Hidden by the morning's early light.

Let's leave behind tomorrow
And bask in these memories.
I pray that when i wake
I live these young American Dreams.

now im alone, but not lonely like before

Nicely done.

Cute.  I enjoyed the second stanza, or chorus, as well as the first stanza.  That was pretty cool, my friend.  Keep writing, you never cease to surprise me.
