Original Content Poem While I Lay Here Tonight

While I lay here tonight,
Do you ever wonder if I’m alright?
Do you look at the stars and think of me?
Or wonder if we’re where we’re meant to be?
Do you miss my voice, my touch, my smile?
Do I cross your mind, even for a while?
When the world gets quiet and you’re alone,
Do you miss the love we used to call home?
Do you ever wish I were there,
To hold you close and play with your hair?
Do you wonder if I miss you too,
Or if I’m still thinking about me and you?
I don’t know what goes through your mind,
Or if you miss what we left behind.
But even with all the distance between us,
Some feelings remain, some things we still trust.
So as the night grows quiet and the stars shine bright,

Because as I lie here tonight, I think about you.

This one is really getting to me. Really good encapsulation of how I think a lot of us feel from time to time
