In the silence of the night, I hear...
the gentle steps that are coming near.
My heart beats faster as I waited...
for the familiar voice to be heard.
Seconds count, a minute, then an hour...
waited ‘til my spittle comes to sour.
I rushed and opened the timid door...
and saw none but footprints on the floor.
I come after the footprints and search...
saw a man, on a bench he perched.
I look around hoping to see you...
and the man told me where you went to.
Then, I realized I’m in a trance...
and from the corner I see your glance.
You’re in a frame with a simple smile…
darling, you’re gone… not just for a while.
