A wish upon a star

Old dreams never fade away.

A  wish upon a star
 
Every night before I close my eyes.
 I whisper your name.
 
I make a wish to kiss your lips.
To feel the heat of your body.
 
I sent you a prayer.
A prayer you have found happiness.
 
I held you so tightly once.
But I saw the loneliness.
The hunger for the road in your eyes.
 
My wandering Angel was dying.
I drove you to the airport.
 
I watched as you flew away from me.
I whispered I would wait for you.
 
I knew when you set a wild animal free.
They will  never come back.
 
I drink the tequila now.
I run down Big Surf beaches yelling your name.
 
Sweet name to my heart.
 
I sit by the  bay.
After the tequila killed all my senses.
 
I dream I can see you dancing naked on the beach.
Whispering to  me.
" life is to be lived. Don't wallow in sadness."
 
You told me once you love me more than life..
 I will never leave you.
 
A sweet love can create a prison and a paradise.
 
I close my eyes.
I see my beautiful beautiful lady wandering the world.
 
I wish to have your hand in mine.
To take  long walks on the Monterey sand..
 
I'm waiting on the Big Surf beach.
I will  wish on the first star in the sky.
 
To be able to look into your eyes.
Tell you I love you.

Coyote, I think we all have someone like this.......These lines

"Every night before I close my eyes.
I whisper your name.

I make a wish to kiss your lips.
To feel the heat of your body."

I have been doing this recently as the one I love is so far away.....
