The stars come out to play
we stand in night, the end of day
walking along the ocean side
talking about times gone by
the moon shines off the water in your eye
stareing in aw I break silence with a sigh
and the wind blows through me, leaving a chill
I think back and remember those days still
and can't believe how we've changed so much
I never thought that day would come
I never thought i'd miss you this much
but as the day grew short and nights were long
I sat back in my chair but couldn't write your song

"But I don't want comfort. I want God, I want poetry, I want real danger, I want freedom, I want goodness. I want sin."

hoppy...i think this is one of your best. It's really beautiful and I must agree the last line is really touching.
