Rooftop Bar...

Meet me tonight as I sit in the dark,

Watching lightning over the sea in the distant clouds.

People chatting, mossies whizzing round.

It's not a balmy summer night, October chill but not freezing.

Jeans tomorrow, drop the shorts, except the drinking kind.

Background hubub of people chatting. Then to disturb the atmosphere, someone smokes.

The town lies below simply lit, enchanting.

And you, you would be here, sat enjoying the vibe.

I long to share these moments and I wonder if your there.

With me, but just not visible.

One day I will know and maybe be so happy I won't care, just being together once again.

I love you Bev, today you died, today I cried.
