A Girl and a Place 
  
There is a place where the air is clear 
And the stars are bright, but it's nowhere near. 
I can go at night, and sit and stare 
Into my life, but only there. 
With a friend I can ponder, 
And take the time to understand her. 
I can tell her what's on my mind. 
She listens to me, and we lose track of time. 
We can talk and share with each other 
And soon I have grown to love her. 
I gaze into her eyes, so bright 
They take the dark and make it light. 
The place is for love and sorrow, 
I hope she's there with me tomorrow. 
When we go, we can always stay, 
And think of things, as we fade into the day.
