Stranger Nights Than These

On stranger nights than these,
I have lain awake,
Unmoving, but breathing.
And with eyes closed, imagining you
Beside me,
Feeling your breath upon my face,
Your kiss upon my cheek.

On stranger nights that these,
I have lain awake.
Unmoving, and waiting.

Nice! ;-) Its a simple poem, but a beautiful one, and (thank goodness) free from annoying grammatical errors and such. Very well done!
-Realms.
(P.S. The only i would change is the kiss upon the cheek. A kiss on the cheek is, less, i dunno, meaningful. You might want to change it to "lips." lol but thats just my preference.)
