The night is dark and peaceful.
The city lights create a certain ambiance.
The warm breeze comfortingly engulfs.

If this were any other night
You would be here.
But it's not any other night
And you're not here.
And you aren't going to be here.
Something I have to get used to now.

I can't help but think
If you were here
We'd hold hands
And walk in the night
And talk about things

We'd talk about all kinds of things.
Things like religion.
Things like politics.
And all of those other things
You aren't supposed to talk about.

We'd keep holding hands.
And we'd keep walking in the night.
And then you'd kiss me goodnight.

But on this warm, dark, and peaceful city night
You aren't here.
And you won't ever be here.
This is still a work in progress. It feels unfinished; I'm not sure it says all that I want it to yet.

Every night I wait
I wait for your call
Your voice
Your laughter
I wait to hear you say
That you're okay
That you miss me
That you want me back

For a while
You called and said just that
That distance didn't matter
That we were meant to be

Every day I'm fine
Everything is okay
Every day I'm busy
Studying
Writing
Forgetting
But not forgetting enough

We acted for the best
Or at least what we thought was best
Is this really over?
It doesn't feel like an end

But every night I wait
I wait for your call
Your voice
Your laughter
I wait to hear you say
That you're okay
That you miss me
That you want this back

But your call doesn't come
I wait to hear you say
That you love me too

— The End —
