I wish we could be
Next to each other,
Especially at night,
When all the lights are dead
And the moon is asleep.

 

When the only sounds
Are pine trees dancing,
Or an old violin that plays
Just for you.

 

When my mind goes
To dream in the night sky,
And when I want someone here,
Next to me, to experience it.

 

To experience nothing,
Nothing but the soft sounds,
Nothing but each other.

 

That’s when I want to be next to you the most.
