Eternity and a Night

Strange how things work out
How I can know you so little
Yet so well that I can anticipate you
Your every move, your every word
And I can crave your presence
Your scent, your smile, your touch
Every time you're not near
I long to feel your arms around me
Holding me throughout the night
A constant reminder of your presence
That your body is next to mine
But I must be patient
Wait until our time has come
When we can be together
Two hearts will be as one
And I will hold you in my arms
For eternity and a night.
