Tonight

There will be time
for remembering,
forgetting, recovering
there will be time when
I am all but numb to the loss of you
but let tonight be free

Later I will think
of the ways you touched me
and left me untouched
the way your hands knew my body
but your heart not my heart
and I will mourn
but tonight, let me be.

Tonight let me sail along
on the bliss of make believe
where your hand still fits in mine
and your voice still answers my call.
Let me pretend you are a whisper away
let me curl up on your pillow
thinking you'll rest your head there again,
give me one more night when I won't weep
and let me sleep.
