Phantom of the Night

the night is long and silent
but i can feel that you are with me
i hear your voice, soft-spoken and lovely
when i rest my head you whisper in my ear
"this night i am with you if you say that you love me"
i say your name quietly under my breath
my eyes are closed
and i see your form gradually materializing
before the twilight
your hand is reaching out to me
and i am drawn closer than ever before
your sweet lips gently touch mine
i can feel your passion
i began to rest my head on your shoulders
but i find you beginning to leave me
slowly fading and leaving me with your thought
and you said to me as you declined into the darkness
"if you say my name, i will always be there"
and then you were gone
like a phantom of the night
