Before I close my eyes to sleep at night I say a prayer for you,

That all is well within your being because of all you’ve been through,

I softly whisper your name as I think of you, I’ve done this every night,

My sole desire through my life is to be the one kissing you goodnight,

I hear violins playing a tender love song that you and I might dance,

Do angels visit our earth with destiny in hand or is it all by chance,

As we dance and dance around as dancers do I absorb your touch,

It would be nice to find a bouquet of roses that say I love you so much,

I bite my tongue that I resist the sexy things I want to say to you,

From the tip of my tongue I fight the urge to say “it” and follow through,

There is no other I’d rather hold than you although it’s hard to dance,

My desire has overtaken my genius and is whispering take a chance,

With you in my arms I am secure as if you could actually turn the tide,

Not meant as detrimental it’s just that you’re such a little thing I confide,

Mmmmmm is a word not spelled but to me it means “mmmm” let me see,

A thousand “mmm’s” is not enough “mmm’s” to say “I love you” for me.

The end, for Patti
