Every Night — Summary

SusovanRomantic

Every night.

When the clock hits the mark of night I sit and draw the lines for you. Depicting you with me.

Every night,

When the clock hits the mark of night. I sit and connect the stars for you, Depicting the converse sending to you.

Every night,

When the clock hits the mark of night, I sit and voyage the feelings for you. Depicting my soul meeting you.

Every night,

When the clock hits the mark of night. I sit and await the stars falling for you. Depicting the wish of mine reaching you.

Every time your thought come into my mind, It becomes harder and harder to stop thinking about you. The seed of your love has been growing inside me is unstoppable. More I think about you, More it grows.

Every night, Every night, & Forever,

Susovan's "Every Night" is about missing someone and keeping that feeling alive through a small, repeated ritual. When the clock marks night, the speaker sits down and does something for the beloved: draws lines that put the two of them together, connects stars, travels through feelings, waits for a falling star. Each time, the action ends in the same hope, that the speaker's wish, words or soul will reach the other person.

The repetition is the heart of the poem. "Every night" returns like a habit, or a quiet prayer, and it makes the longing feel steady rather than sudden. Near the end, the speaker admits that thinking of this person only makes it harder to stop, and compares their love to a seed that keeps growing. The final line, "Every night, Every night, & Forever," suggests the feeling has no end in sight. The mood is tender, wistful and a little lonely, but also devoted and hopeful.
