Six Things

I've got six things on my mind;
And I'm not ashamed to say
That you're all of them;
I still count the hours
Since you were last with me,
But I can't count the hours
That I've lay awake,
Or the hugs I stole from you;
All my recent hours of silence,
And all my strained respect
Missed chances and the same regrets;
My love it howls to the stars,
I remember late one evening
Lying moonstruck beside you
Wishing that the moment could never end,
And wondering how I could ever survive
Without someone as beautiful as you.
