I lie nearly motionless
Save the inhale and exhale
Of my nightly cigarette
I lie in a flickering candlelight
Not sure what to think
Wondering what you're doing
At this exact moment
If you're asking yourself
The same exact questions
And what your answers might be
You have this fear
Something I can't quite say
That I really share
I don't think of what's to come
Just what's in front of me
I have my hopes, not expectations
Of what might come of this
I only know what I feel
When I see your face, Hold you close
Feel your touch or the sweet caress of your lips
I can't question about these things
Merely accept them
And enjoy every minute
Of the time I have with you
I don't see the point of fear or worry
Of the possibility of hurt
No matter how short ago I felt its sting
When what could come
Could be the antithesis
I simply take what I can
And run with it
