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.
