Eternally

I lie in bed at night and pray,
that you will think of me.
I cry until my eyelids close,
and dream-eternally.

I wake to sunlight on my face,
for a moment I forget.
Then a cloud passes by,
and I realize, this is it.

I carry on throughout the day,
feigning joy, and feeling pain.
I long to gaze upon your face,
share a smile and feel an embrace,

The day is drawing to an end,
and still I think of you.
I try to relax, yet in my mind,
I wonder what to do.

So now I lay down to sleep,
I pray the Lord, my soul will keep.
And should by chance you think of me,
know that I'm thinking of you-eternally....
