The Last Act

in the absence of you
i sit in darkness
waiting patiently
with all the little birds
as they await sunrise
i rest my eyes
dream of your soft skin
gentle embrace
your smiling face
our hands intertwine
our lips meet

in the absence of you
i sit in darkness

don't want to share the sun
with anyone else.

before dawn, in a tiny notebook.)
