On nights like this


On nights like this when the air is chilled
And the moon is hanging low
When the wind covers my cheeks in kisses
When the stars shine on all my wishes
I think of you and sigh a little
Because on nights like this, I miss you

On nights like this when I’m lost in my mind
And looking in my heart for answers I won’t find
When my eyes trace lines on the bedroom floor
When fingers race across my worn key board
I remember the few times you held my hand
And then, I start to miss you

On nights like this when silence sneaks in
And I’d do anything to break it
When the sound of my breath carries panic
When my legs start pacing back and forth, manic
I hear your voice whisper to me softly
And I remember why I miss you

On all other nights I can compromise
And teach myself to forget the look in your eyes
When you smiled at me
Or when you said "I love you"
On all other nights I can let you go
But on nights like tonight, I miss you
