Night on the 14th of February.....

I sit cross-legged on my bed,
waiting for sleep to visit me.
I stare across the dark room,
upon the window where
the moon shines her light.
The dark mingles with the
silver presence of the moon,
flooding my room with
silver and black. I stood up
and walked towards the window.
Staring up the starry sky.
Where stars dance and look
down upon us.
Their flaming body granting us
light on this dark night.
A painting hand-drawn by God himself
is this night sky. With a touch of violet
and a shade of black, in the center
hangs the moon. With the stars
dancing around her.
I stare with awe at the night,
with it's different creatures
singing their songs to the moon.
At an instant, whilst I was held
captive by the beauty of the night,
your face appeared in my mind.
I closed my eyes and saw your face
so vividly, with your every feature
imprinted clearly in my mind.
With your eyes sparkling like the tiny stars
of the sky, and your lips curving into a smile.
The moment I opened my eyes,
I saw you standing in front me.
Your facade glowing with the
radiance of the moon.
I lifted my hand and tried to touch your face,
trying to discern whether you're
really there.
I felt your face, your skin so warm.
Your lips seem to move,
as if you're trying to say something.
But, little by little, you start to fade
into the dark of the night.
I smiled at myself,
and laughed a silent laugh.
Fooled by the moon with her simple
tricks. And as I took one last look at the
night sky, I beckoned sleep to come.
I lie on my bed, and before my whole
consciousness fell into sleep's arms.
I whispered to myself: "I love you",
Wondering if you heard them,
wondering if you too looked up and was captivated
by the night at the same time I was.
Wondering if you whispered
the very same words too.....
