"Where You Are"

Where You Are

By: R. A. Cvetich

Streetlights quickly flashing by

Staring at a benighted sky

Gazing at the brightest star

Does it shine there where you are?

Like I, are you making a wish

That we could share but one last kiss?

For that is all that I can do

Just stand outside and wish for you

And as the snow rests in my hair

I try to pretend I am there

I close my eyes and think real hard

And suddenly I’m where you are

I feel the salty ocean breeze

I hear it whistle through palm trees

We’re walking down the ocean shore

It’s like I’ve never felt before

Feet sinking into sugary sand

As we walk on hand in hand

And we gaze up and see that star

I see it does shine where you are

Moon gazing down from up above

And I am falling so in love

As you move close and hold me tight

On this romantic Florida night

I close my eyes as you lean in

But just as they open again

Snowflakes through the wind are blown

And I find myself all alone

Staring at the same bright star

Wondering why I’m not where you are
