as night falls,
lay down in the quiet.
as night falls,
the air is heavy
the air is cool,
lay down in the reverie.
as night falls,
my thoughts
cross years, heavy
heart and tears,
so I lay down, dreaming.
as night falls,
need to be grounded,
need to to know your
your life turned out
best or better than the rest ...
so I lay down.
as nights falls,
my mind wanders,
across your smile,
across the times
we once had, snared thoughts
shared moments
but night has fallen,
the shadows hide,
the gap so wide, the distance
from my memory,
to the reality, of how close
we had become, then...
                                                         ­                 what we have lost,
                                                           ­   more than hands reaching,
                                                  searc­hing for one another,...
so as night falls,
so do our echoed
goodbyes, unheard
forever.

See you on the other side.
