Each night lulled to sleep by the sweet tick tock,
Of the steady beat from my bedside clock.
Longing it to be the rhythm of your heart,
Yet echoing in my own as we're apart.
I dreamt of being held tight in your arms,
Though woke lonely to ringing alarms.
I quieted the dancing bells with distain,
Facing reality I'm without you again.
I reach for you the only way I have known,
A message, reminder, picture or poem.
One day, some day wishes will come true...
Nestled up close I'll lay next to you.
I'll fall asleep to the kind beat of your heart,
Embraced in your arms wanting never to part.
In the morning we'll wake still holding tight,
Just as we remained throughout all the night.
I'll give you sweet kisses to start your day,
My eyes telling yours all I need to say.
Alas each night, my dear clock I shall wind,
To dream of your heart beating next to mine.
