The night follows down the day
all the light is gone for now
the stars have yet to shine
my visions been taken by the black of night

I know he’s there holding me tightly
blockading the midnight breeze
he pulls me closer stealing my air
I feel his warm breath down my neck
the words flow smoothly from his lips,
“I love you,” a whisper into the wind

“FOREVER.” Our lips press together
my head is sent into a familiar whirl
as we lay atop the lonely hill
I rest my spinning head upon his chest
listening to the rhythmic thud-thud…thud-thud
of MY love-struck lullaby

I look to the sky one last time
the stars appear in bunches and clusters
as if our love is burning bright
the moon comes into view


I shiver once he cuddles me closer
I put my weary eyes to rest
thud-thud…thud-thud
MY love-struck lullaby
now I am drifting softly away
sleeping like an infant
his hand sweeps through my hair
as we lay atop the lonely hill
under the starlit sky
