I wish all the time <br />that I could hold back the dawn, <br />so we could spend more hours together, <br />before once again from my arms <br />you are gone. <br />I wish the night would never end, <br />with you under the moon and stars, <br />and the harsh reality <br />of going back to work <br />would never come. <br />That we could rest within each other’s arms, <br />never having to let you go. <br />Oh, how I just wish, <br />that I could just hold back the dawn.<br /><br />David Harris<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/hold-back-the-dawn/
