I Love You Tonight

I’m going to hate you in the morning, 
but I sure do love you tonight.
Being alone is what I fear. 
What I crave is a soft touch and a sympathetic ear,
a gentle caress during a quiet moment together. 
Love is a wonderful thing and I have much to give.
But without someone to share it with, 
well, why do I live?
I’m so hungry for love, 
but I’m just the means to an end for you.
Though to what end I cannot fathom.
Perhaps your own fear of being alone?
So once again we leap into the chasm.
