"Up all night"

"Up all night"
by:
Virgilio F. De leon Jr.MD

I
My problem starts as simple enough
A simple thing because of my wants
Which turns out to be you
and all the problems that come with you

II
So I stare at the stars
And see your face there
barely holding on to my sanity
I try to look elsewhere

III
So I just hear your voice
whispering sweet things
So I turn the music loud
to drown out your soothing sound

IV
So I feel your hand on mine
and you place it on your chest
"You are just a man" , you say
You ask , "How can you resist?"

V
Because I know you are not here
and whatever this is is not real.
And as simple as it sounds
My simple problem disappears.
