Where have you withered away to I wonder, as I move slowly to this wordless song that has stealthily taken over the night. Where are you now, when you must be here? Watching me, if not with me? Where are your little dreams taking you, or have they died, quietly? Without even telling me? Oh, I do long for you under this moonlit sky.
I long not for these familiar faces about me. They are laughing, and attempting to make me smile...but my heart is not in it's place. My heart too has withered away, to the distant land where you belong. I drown my sorrows in worldly revelry. But, I do not like it my love. Oh my love, my charming all-weather soul friend, I do not like it.
I imagine you here now. Your soft breath humming forever into my ear. Your sing-song words putting melody into this night air's song. And, then just like you once were, this little dream is snatched away from me. As quickly as you came, you are gone. And, no I cannot cry. I cannot lose hope. I cannot fall, cannot falter, and cannot let the world see through my eyes.
When they look at me with those fallen eyes, I know they know. But, I cannot think of them now. I can think only of you. I can think only of our fearless love, our intimate eye games. Only you knew the secret thoughts in my head. I long so much to reach out to you my love. But, each time, you slip away like an illusion that never was.
And, I live on with a melancholy settled so deep within...so deep within my soul.

I know how that feels. 22 is all blue, like I was earlier today. Only he knows the secret thoughts in my head too..
