As I sit and watch the sun blaze in the sky,
as the stars awake and the crescent moon raises up high
as the reds turn to blue and blend soon to black
my mind strays to you and I wish for you back

These stars look down at me from their heavenly throne
they hear my lonely heart and its low mournful groans
they pity me, solitary on these vast rolling plains
The familiar aches start as I whisper your name

You are not gone forever, only a period of time
but without your love, how does my spirit I still shine?
So for now it is the stars and I that talk
conversing about you throughout the night as I walk
Bittersweet memories strike me like arrows poison-laced
as I remember your voice, your touch and your face

Why am I like this! Sick with love every time you go away
when there is no happiness in the moon or sun's rays
Are you thinking of me this night as I think of you?
Do you look up into the sky meditating on dark hues?
Cold winds start to blow, and my blankets bring me heat
but it is not your warmth, and it is your warmth I need

Of course I will go on, doing the things I need to do
performing the daily tasks; the grind I go through
I walk back inside, no sounds but the tap of my shoes
It will be hard to slumber because...*sigh*, I miss you
