THE FACE OF MY LOVE

Staring at the ceiling

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I stare at the ceiling,

But it’s too dark to see.

The night passes slowly –

He’s not here with me.

+

I hear the clock ticking

In time with my heart –

These are my nights,

Since we’ve been apart.

+

The face of my love

Is always in sight,

Especially during

Each lonely night.

+

I stare at the ceiling,

So dark up above –

All I can see

Is the face of my love.
