Midnight Words

Soon

After months and months

of dim eyes through screens

of promises in dreams

I get to see you once again

After all the drunken whispers 

through the phone at night

after the tears we wipe

after the screaming aches in our hearts

I get to see your eyes again

I get to make you smile again

I get to feel your lips on mine again

I get to say you're mine again

the days before that

are counted down

and spent in impatience

while we tell ourselves," just one more."

And all too soon 

its over

and all too soon 

comes the time for goodbyes

But goodbye is too harsh 

for our fragile hearts

So we say soon 

even if it means another year.
