Another Sleepless Night in Washington DC.

Another Sleepless Night in Washington DC.
Written to Karen (By Tommy Franks)

Last night, I left my bedroom window open.
I even left a small light on.
Suddenly, I was awakened from my dreams.
I looked into your incredible face.
The silhouette of your sweet body intrigued me.
I could hear the rain outside.
I held you in my arms.
I pulled you close to my chest.
We talked. We laughed. We kissed.
You said, "Tommy, I will never let you go."
I responded, "Wonderful...Gung Ho...Geronimo!"
We danced. We whispered. We sighed.
We held each other ever so closely.
The full moon was bright!
I want you to know that
You will always be beside me!
That is where I want you to be...
So tenderly!
I long to feel your beautiful face, hands, and arms.
I feel your heart beating.
I feel your body breathing
As you lie beside me in our bed!
I close my eyes.
No matter what I do,
I can't get enough of you!
What am I to do?
As we lay side by side, I hear the cars go by below...
I even hear one of my favorite songs on one of the car radios,
"Always and Forever".
I long to be with you!
I really want to hold you...
To hear you excitedly talk, laugh, and play.
Dance with me!
Dance to the music!
How I do need you!
Somehow, I will make it thru this day.
Oh yes, we have a lot of phone conversations.
Your voice, I know quite well.
I know your laugh...your sigh.
I know your smile!
How could I be so lonely?
How could I miss you so much?
In my heart, I carry you with me.
You are now a big part of me...
A beautiful part, I never want to be without.
So here I am...Lying here thinking...
It is still raining outside.
I look up at the ceiling.
I close my eyes.
I listen.
I open my eyes again.
I look for you.
You are gone.
The second dream is over.
Here I am...alone again!
