You or the Night

While I wait for those desired

Engulfed in a cold heat.

As we’re lost in the fire

My dear we’ll just take seat.

I can see as you hide

While I am here to seek

But longer I seek the more you slide,

Sliding past as I grow weak.

Stay close for you I cannot lose

I know I’m selfish as I say

I hope it’s me over him you choose

But if it’s him just please be here to stay.

If it’s him chosen in the end

So be it, I’d love to be your friend.

Because no matter what, you or the night;

I’d be with you, engulfed in the night.
