better together

there she lies

on her bed

by the window

as she bid farewell to the sun

overlooking the lanai

gazing at the stars

maybe,

they have the answers

that she seeks?

the song

'how do i live without you'

fills the silence

she smiles

she dreams every night

how do I know, you ask?

it is that smile,

and his gramophone

that gleams like a jewel

(right next to it

you will find

a davenport - unloved, dusty)

unrealistic to many

stupid to some

naive to him

but yet their love eternal

in the eyes of this universe

'please stay', she wished he asked

/I wanna be looking in your eyes

I wanna be there for you,

sharing everything you do

I wanna grow old with you/

for he is

her refuge

her rock

her knight

her lighthouse.
