Are you out there?

I lit a candle
as the sun began to set.
I lit the fire
as the night began to cool.

The stares appear one by one
and shine gently down.
The moon appears slowly
and shines brightly down.

The winding path of trees
leave a lonely feeling.
The winding rows of flowers
leave a gentle smell.

I wait for your arrival,
as the night grows older.
I wait for your love,
as the night grows colder.

I set by the window
and watch others walk.
I set by my window
and watch others talk.

I remember the day
when we first met.
I remember the day
when we first kissed.

The candle burns dim
and my eyes grow heavy.
The fire burns cold
and my fears grow deep.

Are you out there?
I ask aloud.
Are you out there?
I pray aloud.

My eyes grow sleepy
as the night silences.
My body grows weary
as the night nears end.

As the candle goes out..
Your smile lights the room.
As the fire goes out...
Your love warms the room.
