Tonight I didn't get the chance to say, "Goodnight" to you and I feel empty
An unusual silence greeted me when I arrived home, as you were not well and were asleep
I sat alone looking out into the dark night at rain dancing to the light of the street lamp.......
....falling heavily like a rolling sea searching to caress a distant shore.
Orchid Lady, I will not disturb you tonight; instead I will sleep alone with my thoughts
Sweetheart, I just want to be where you are with your warmth touching my own body
The darkness is enveloping my thinking as an occasional sound turns my head to my door
I have this strange feeling that you are here beside me capturing my every thinking.
I can't stop my heart from seeking you as our hearts have always been joined as one
How I missed looking into your emerald green eyes before you silently fell into a deep sleep
I don't care how other people live; I can't think of anything but you and I need to hold you
You would probably laugh if I told you right now, "I feel so incomplete and unable to function."
What is this love that holds a person speechless and spellbound?.......
....I am sitting here among a helpless tangle of my emotions as though I have lost my way
Why do I feel this way when I am only spending one solitary night without you by my side?
I need you more than a dry river bed cries out for the rain that is falling outside my window.
When we first met you sent excitement running through me which took my breath away.......
....but now you have blossomed into a tropical flower of absolute delight
Sleep well my love for if I hear you cry out in your sleep I will be here for you
Until the morning my thoughts will be of you - goodnight my beautiful orchid.
