Twilight Thoughts
=================

Twilight dreaming,
    moonlit weeping,
        midnight searching,
            as I slide through the night

Blackness descends on the world and I,
hiding me as shadows encroach.
The white moon floats serenely on,
the sky's colour dies, blue to black.

Wither are you gone, my dearest love?
I need you here, right by my side.
I walk alone, one amoung millions,
searching, endlessly, for you.

The miles between us, keeping us separate,
eyes cannot glance, nor fingers feel.
Only through electric paths
may we come together,
    asynchronously.

I won't reach up to pull her down,
I know you need her as much as I.
We both can gaze, yet never touch,
    so far and far ... away.
