Love Poem: After

Written by: Patrick Lorenz

After

After 

After all the laughter 
After they all go home
Things go back to normal
And I know I’m all alone

At length I ask myself
How long will this memory last?
‘Cause when I’m by myself
My thoughts are in the past

I know how the poet dreams
I know how the lovers kiss
I think of your love tonight
I know I’ll truly miss

If I could do it all again
I’d try to make it right
I would hold you real close
Loving all through the night

Unless this mem’rys shaken
Perhaps by another one
Tomorrow these saddened eyes
May never meet the sun
