Eternity

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

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

I carry on thoughout the day,
feigning joy, and feeling pain.
I long to gaze upon you face
and share a smile, a embrace.

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

So now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord, my soul to keep.
And should you chance to think of me
know that I love you --eternity.
