Yearning of Love

In the still of the night, shadows embrace,

A world of longing, a bittersweet chase,

The heart's yearning cry, a silent plea,

For one more night, just you and me.

Beneath the moon's gentle, silvery light,

Our souls entwined, in the depths of night,

Whispers of love, a delicate art,

One more night, to mend this heart.

Time stands still as we dance through space,

Each moment with you, a tender embrace,

But morning comes with its cruel delight,

Stealing you away, into the light.

I'd give it all, the world, the stars above,

For one more night, to bask in your love,

To taste your kiss, to hold you tight,

In the warmth of darkness, where everything's right.

The echoes of laughter, the secrets we share,

In the stillness of night, nothing can compare,

Your eyes like constellations, shimmering bright,

I crave your presence, just one more night.

The moon, a witness to our timeless desire,

As we fan the flames of this burning fire,

But daylight approaches, a harsh, painful sight,

Tearing us apart, ending our flight.

Oh, how I ache for your tender touch,

The warmth of your skin, I crave it so much,

The night is our canvas, our love, our art,

Let's paint it again, just one more start.

With every dawn, my heart grows heavy,

Yearning for you, feeling unsteady,

For in your arms, I find my light,

I beg you, my love, for one more night.

The world may spin, and seasons may change,

But our love's eternal, it will never estrange,

Through the darkest hours, we'll take our flight,

Give me your love, just one more night.

As the stars fade into the morning's embrace,

I long for your presence, your sweet, tender grace,

To hold you close, to make everything right,

Let's rewrite our story, in one more night.

In the stillness of night, our love will prevail,

With every heartbeat, with every detail,

Though the world may conspire to keep us apart,

I'll cherish our moments, deep in my heart.

So, my love, as the night slips away,

In my dreams, with you, I'll forever stay,

Until the next darkness, with all my might,

I'll wait for your love, for one more night.

Though the dawn breaks, and tears me apart,

You'll always reside in the depths of my heart,

In the shadows, in dreams, in the soft moonlight,

I'll love you forever, for one more night.

In the realm of dreams, where time takes flight,

We'll find each other, and hold on tight,

For love transcends the day's harsh light,

We'll meet again, in one more night.
