Day and night, I think of you.
As I lie down, below,
The stars shine, above.
Day and night, I think of you.
I like the way you smile,
The way your eyes light up.
We are so different,
Yet so alike.
Of opposite natures,
As far north is from south,
As distinct as light and darkness.
Yet deep down, not very different, perhaps.
Day and night, I think of you.
The way you rest your hands,
The way you sit still,
But cause the world around you,
To shake, shimmer and shine.
Day and night, I think of you.
Your smile, my frown.
Your passion, my indifference.
Your noble gaze, my common stare.
The way you move, the ground I stand.
The things you say, the thoughts I have.
Day and night, I think of you.
Of how full of life you are,
And how cold and heartless I am.
Of your love for all things good.
And my desire for the deep, the dark.
Of your enthusiasm.
And my selfishness.
Day and night, I think of you.
Afraid of change, I am,
Yet meeting you, will change that.
Not certain of things anymore,
Only certain that you change me.
A fear of myself and others,
But your voice soothes and comforts.
Day and night, I think of you.
Of opposite natures,
As far north is from south,
As distinct as light and darkness.
Yet deep down, both burning,
With unquenchable passion,
And a longing to love and be loved, perhaps.
Day and night, I think of you.
Day and night.
Dedicated to her.
