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
