I wish you stayed tonight,
The music felt so right,
I hummed and started to sing this song,
The forgotten emotions loud and calm.

Slightly swayed, hugging myself
I heard you singing my thoughts as well.
Your voice touched like breeze on autumn leaves,
Your rasp, turned the pages inside me.

Your name not far away from my heart,
Upturned and tossed around but intact,
I see you slowly dissolve in wind,
Tears unnoticed, forgotten and spent.

I wish you stayed tonight,
The music felt so right,
We could have danced all night,
Smiling, swaying, holding tight.
