Tonight

On nights like these when the moon is yellow
The wind is quiet and my heart is mellow
My gaze scans the twinkling sky
and my heart skips at every passer-by

My footsteps sound like a lingering tune
in search of a melody that got over too soon
The shadows tease me as I find my way
and bring back remnants of yesterday

But even though the stars promise nothing more
Hope fills my heart and makes my spirit soar
I wait for you in silence as morning draws near
The beautiful anguish of an unshed tear
