Once again In the presence of an old friend A confidant The onyx curtain blankets the horizon Deepening with the waining moon A window to Infinity I speak Incoherent ramblings , jumbled thoughts To pleads for insight , Advice I've rehearsed moving monologues , poems , and goodbyes . Asked her to marry me hundreds of times And cried at the rejection , while asking why . Ahhh yes you my love, were the subject of many of the meetings Therapeutic sessions late night talks . Amidst the depths of this onyx abyss , Now murmuring along with the twinkling stars Are all nuances , feelings , put I to words I love you darlin I've always loved you , you are every breath I take The sun rises and sets , with the blink of your smile. I've shared this only with my friend. He knows you As I do Helped me realize , I can't help my heart , He knows , I can't help but love you . He knows I adore you . He knows ill be back out here tomorrow . The shadow of my soul The midnight sky The unwavering ear He knows Ill be back , with you on my mind, Heavy on my heart . I love you , And once again , I'm in the presence , of an old friend ..... Sharing secrets in the night
