in the darkness of my night i pray for you

i think of you every night 
as the calmness of the dark 
washes over me 
comforting me 
as i pray that i'll see you again 

and again i think 
i cannot go another day 
with your image in my head 
a face i can't clearly remember 
blurred in my mind 
as i try to focus on what exactly you look like 

and when i do meet you 
i don't tell you
how i would cry 
when i was younger 
because i couldn't understand 
why you would leave 

and i stare at your 
watching your face 
as you talk to me 
ignoring the words 
as this moment washes over me
