Tonight I fall asleep alone, as I so often do
nobody beside me, as usual
the stars are my only company tonight
shining so bright in the night sky
as a coyote howls outside
but I feel more alone than ever.
Do you remember that night?
That night when I didn't feel so alone
because you stayed up with me for a good portion of that evening
and we joked about being pantless on that hot summer night
because you were in boxers, and I was in volleyball shorts
but there wasn't no hanky-panky because
you were in a motel that I wouldn't trust with my life
and I was in my own bed (which I don't trust with my life)
so we lied in beds laughing, pantless
and you said things that left me breathless
and I felt more alive
and loved than ever before
I didn't feel alone for once.
But the differences between that night and tonight
are that the breeze chills me to the bone
instead of relieving the heat from my body
I have pajama pants on tonight
because I'm too cold without your heat
the coyote howls because it's lonesome
not because it's rejoicing
the full moon isn't out, mesmerizing me
beckoning me with its bright light
which just makes my night
lonely.
