FLICKERING GHOST

whenever it is late at night
and hints of light are few
i think about the love we share
and those thoughts get me through

i wish that i could call you up
and tell you how i feel
to reassure you that i know
our love is very real

how sacred is the time we've spent
it's only been a while
but yet it seems forever
since i've seen your laughing smile

i truly feel the spirit
that exists when we draw near
i know that such a brilliant light
will suddenly appear

whenever night time comes around
and everything looks dark
i think about the love we shared
and how it's lost its spark

i wish i had the nerve to call
and tell you of my choice
but hate the thought of disappointment
weakening your voice

how awkward it would be right now
for i would have to hide
behind a lying feeble smile
the truth all locked inside

my thoughts are turning from the days
when i loved you the most
the little that is left
is like the flicker of a ghost
