A Tear On My Pillow

As I lay in my bed at night,
the day you'll arrive seems nowhere in sight.
I toss and turn dreaming of you.
I awake checking if my dream were true.
It wasn't, and tears come to my eyes
thinking of your love I never knew.
Holding my pillow, I quietly weep.
Many sleepless nights,
I long for my darling
and the love we share so deep.
I never felt so blessed.
Our love confessed.
No other has ever made me feel so complete,
feel so alive.
All these thoughts and more going through my head.
I long for the day you arrive.
I fall asleep not worrying,
but dreaming of you instead.
