Tick Tock

Door shuts, tears flow
There is no way
that you could know

What you did tonight
What you continuously
do to me

But tonight stands out

For the calendar is marked
with all the little things
that you've done
that made me
feel alive

Holding back
what I want you to see
but it's there
buried deep
always will be

"Thanks for the dance."
In my mind
I'll take that
to the next level
with me

For the rough nights to come
when I lay alone
remembering the way
your body felt
close to mine

There aren't going to be
too many more times
like this in my life
with the news
of the day

Time moves on
I'm aware of the tick
knowing the tock
comes soon

But for now
I'll rejoice in the moment
and listen to the tunes

Perhaps tomorrow
I'll be strong
and say it's time
for the tock

But until then
I'll stay up
to watch the sun
and etch the night
in the morning glow
