Yet Another Night

Guess I can put in one more poem here instead of any prose. One of my old works, way back in 2007. Just out of imagination. Not to assume any co-incidences in life with :). But one among my favs.. Any suggestions, always welcome :).

Last night, when the night seemed so long,
Playing on the radio, was a beautiful song.
All by myself, I sat in the balcony,
Thinking of you, the better half of me.

Lying on the couch, made of nice soft foam,
I just wished, you should have been here, at home.
All I could do, was give a soft sigh,
And turn my glance, to gaze at the sky.

Oh my God, hadn't we watched this earlier?,
With you sitting, to me, so very near.
Wherever we are today, whatever is the fuss,
We still have the same sky, to roof both of us.

While that night, you said, 'he' was all mine,
And I could have him some day, with us, to dine.
The same moon today, looked so full and elegant,
Seemed like a new bed lamp, for me, that you have sent.

The sky stretched out there, all black and vast,
With clouds in between, moving not so very fast.
Wish you were here honey, to give me company,
Until the sky fell down, upon you and me.

Wondering I was, if I could walk through that park?,
With stars all around, leaving their mark.
Heard from behind me, a very soft whisper,
Felt it was you, saying 'Yes' for an answer.

Instantly did I turn around, telling myself, 'It's Him',
Was less than a second, for me to realise, it was a dream.
Oh dear, how I wish it wasn't a dream, but actually true,
Then maybe, we could have painted, the black sky blue..
