"November Night"

Sleep eludes me on this November night
As the pain in my heart, I try to fight
The tears on my pillow make a soft sound
Rain comes gently from the sky as it touches dry parched ground

Missing you so much, I reach across the bed
You should be laying there, but empty space instead
The ache inside me, slowly driving me insane
The rain matches my tears as it hits the window pane

Night cold air slips into my tired bones
As my soul full of agony restlessly roams
A silouette of your face meanly dances on the wall
My heart cries out to you, urgently it does call

I rise out of bed to look at the starlit sky
For the millionth time I question the reason why
Why are you there and I am here, when it should not be
Your love released my soul, it set my heart free

All hope in me is almost lost, as another night passes by
I finally dry my eyes, no tears left to cry
Black of night, cold fear grabs a hold of my heart
It threatens to tear my soul completely apart

My arms reach out for you again, but all I find is empty air
I honestly don't know how much more I can bear
They say butterflies are meant to be free, maybe angels are too
Much as I don't want to release you, perhaps it's the right thing to do

All I know is I have never loved this much
I've never craved another's touch
Memories play on inside my head, serving to remind
In you the greatest love of my life, I did find

Night ends and turns into morning, the dawning of a new day
Was hoping for sunshine and rainbows, but all I see is gray
Stumble to the coffee pot, and think of this love so true
And only three words come to mind...I love you.
