Before This Night is Over

before this night is over
I will have returned to my post
turning back the clock
retrieving spoken words
that have fallen on deaf ears

before this night is over
I will have wiped away a tear
thoughts of what might have been
but wasn't meant to be
or the night would not have remained completely still

before this night is over
I will have given up on wishes
feelings that were never felt
dreams by only one
the meeting that never happened

yes before this night is over
things will be like they were
no more than a friendly handshake
good to meet you kind soul
before this night is over ...
