Love At Night; A Poem

Sitting here with memories
Sipping Arnold Palmer
Thinking about you
Wishing my heart was calmer

I feel it coming swiftly
The fluster comes in waves
And I realize I can't help
The way my heart behaves

Nor the way I act
When I see or think of you
And I never have to wonder
If you feel it, too

I know we both feel it
It's intense, scary and pure
I may not be the smartest
But this I know for sure

I will drift off soon
To a land of sleep and dreams
Of fairy tales and girlishness
Or so it would seem

But the reality of night
Is dark and oh so lonely
Where everything goes wrong
And I lose my one and only

The dreams used to come
And bring me peace at night
But now I pray for morning
For a little bit of light

But alas now I must go
To dream what isn't true
But know that when I wake
I will still love you
