Starry night

Hey there, it's getting pretty dark

And I feel sombre and all alone

And my only friend is the night owl,

Wise, flat and lying down prone.

I wish you were here with me

Under the carpet of moon and stars,

And we could check into the nearest inn

Or may be one of the shady nightly bars.

At times like this when I feel solitary

I imagine your hand tight in mine,

And when that's the feeling I get

I don't even need any intoxicating wine.

If you were right here with me

I wouldn't speak a word

Because just having you by my side

Is comfort and a bed of love.

There are many things on my mind

That I would like to tell and say

But since it's such a pleasant night

I'll leave it for another smooth buttery day.

Frankly, I wouldn't want to share with you

A single problem that I own 

To see your cheery smiley face,

I don't want you to see me down.

Sometimes you have told me

I am not so heavenly to be around;

That's as far as I can go because

I don't want you to hear my troubled sound.

It's a pleasant night of solitude

And I really wish you were here;

I just wrote this poem to tell you sweet

That just the thought of you eased my fears.

My heavy heart you have eased tonight

By speaking not a syllable

And even though you are so far

You have touched me this night double.

Please don't ever abandon me

Because I couldn't bear the thought,

I know sometimes I've been a handful

When we have tiffed and we have fought.

If love is a yoke too heavy to bear

Please still have me stick around

For at nights like these when it's lonely and clear

I can find you even in the unfound.

The wise night owl is standing now

And is ready for its high flight,

And just like that may your dreams soar

Wide into this starry starry night.
