In The Moonlight...

The moon caressed your skin as you stood there gazing into the ocean
The wind howled as it danced with your hair 
It brought me your aroma as it released you from its hold
I breathed you in deeply, closing my eyes, as I lost myself in your fragrance

I can feel you drawing closer as the air shifted to accommodate your presence
Your silhouette coming into focus but I haven't opened my eyes
I can hear you speak but you haven't uttered a word
I can feel your kiss upon my lips but you haven't touched me yet 

Now I lie awake in the aftermath of it all
Wondering how you had survived the fall
I still think of our tumultuous time
When I was yours and you were mine 

I never wanted to push you away
I didn't know there was another way
I wish I could have held you for a little while longer
I wish I could have been a little more stronger

But in the end what is done can not be undone
There's no returning to the place where we once were
The writing was placed on the wall
Now there's no time for a last call
