I remember that night as we lay on our backs
Gazing up at the moon and the stars;
We talked all night just to hear each other's voices.
I felt you run to me with every whispering breath
As your hand softly brushed mine.
I remember looking deep into your longing eyes,
Wanting to dive in as they spoke to me
The words that only they could.
Your eyes have never lied
And, even still, I take comfort in being lost there.

The stars shone brighter that night than I'd ever seen before.
The moon seemed so close, so clear -
Its glow softly kissed your face
Revealing every perfect imperfection that I call "You."

As you turned to me, that night,
Your eyes drew me in further than they ever had before
Begging me to become lost there,
To drown there,
And to give up every hesitation that I may have insisted upon.
Nothing else mattered to me at that moment;
There were no more stars, no moon, no light -
Only you.

Dedicated to Barry Gibb!
