Sometime after midnight

a sudden ache for you

Steals into my heart

quiet and true

I lay there wondering

in the still of the night

If somewhere

you too

feel this silent plight

Does your heart flutter

does your soul call out

In the whispers of darkness

does it shout?

Do you lie awake

with thoughts of me

Lost in the echo

A yearning so deep

it colours my dreams

In the silence

your name softly gleams

Sometime after midnight

under a velvet sky

I ache for you

and wonder why

Do you feel this pull

this tender strain

In the quiet moments

a sweet

soft pain?

Do you lie there

restless as I do

Wondering if

I'm aching for you too?
