Berdtime



Going to bed without you,
Feeling empty, alone and blue.
Missing your hand in mine,
Walking together, not behind.
Laying with you side by side,
Together with you, you with me, we decide.
Open displays of affection shown,
We are truly in love’s true zone.
This above is what I’m missing,
Being intimate with you, kissing.
