Night

 My want and my need

are tied for first place, 

for my want and need of

you are just the same. 

To wake in your arms

and kiss you good night, 

as the thought of it brings

 a smile to my face. 

Collaborating with the dreams

that bring you close to me, 

I ask that you not wake me 

I'm in the middle of a love scene.

My heart is open as open can be

 I lay here dreaming you next to me,

I named my pillow as I squeeze it tight

while I called out your name in the middle 

of the night.`
