The fire that burns in your eyes
Leaves me no defense or disguise
As you ardently profess
That I look better than I guess
But she’s everything I’ll never be
Like I’m the ocean, she’s the sea
And the moment takes too long
You be casual, I’ll be strong
And run my fingers through my hair
All I know is you were there
Sitting by the pond under a Maigh Nuad sky
And I’m the one who’s not afraid to die
And I try
To meet your eyes
But you look away, look down
And I’ve walked the hallways of that town
Where you are now 
Like you said you’d be
And I’d spent years 
In the city
Trying to exclaim 
He’s just a name
It’s not the same
But your sullen gaze
Is still the one thing that I save
From those years ago
I shouldn’t have second guessed, I know
But you’re too kind
To ever occupy my mind
In the way you do
On purpose too
And your sleight of hand
Has me wondering where’s that band
You always said you’d be
But you’re still the rhythm to me
And I ask the Lord, my deity 
To please let me see
The colour in those eyes
One more time beyond the lies
Or for forever in the sky
Like a star I’m getting high
On the looks you send in my direction
And if it’s really natural selection
How did it know to pick you
I gave my heart to him too
And I cry aloud
You are everything I am about
In the dewy air
I know coz I was there
It was real, a dream come true
And I’m always meaning you
In your fervent tries
This is the land of no goodbyes 
Coz I feel you in my heart
We stand still and not apart
But soaking in the atmospheric rain
Do I get to see you again
And hold your hands and kiss your lips
Just so you know it’s an eclipse
Whenever you are near
And there’s one thing that I fear
That I don’t really know you, dear
Only your musings on the wall
Is this love or not at all?
Coz you’ve got a woman by your side
And all I ever do is hide
The way I really feel
Because I cannot deal
With cracking open in the sun
Crying out, well he’s the one
And I know we are still young
And there’s songs yet to be sung
But do you kiss and touch her hair
Does she look up, is she aware
Of just how tall you reach
Like a branch I could not keep
Holding mistletoe or spring
And I gave it everything
But maybe too much is little now
Now, that you’ve found your way somehow
Out of the thistles and the briars
Away from chasms of desire
Into arms that know you well
She loves you deeply, I can tell
And I’m just not up to fight
When I know she’d win alright
And have you hold her by the line
While I cry the thousandth time
To see you in her arms
All sashay and easy charms
And you inflect
How generously you do reject
Everything that cannot be
I turn away, you’re all I see
And in the midnight of the moment
I see that my heart is opened
And lets you go so generous
No flame to burn the temptress
But only nod and salute
I love you beautiful and cute
And wish you well and know you’ll be
An eternity to me
While she looks up to know
There is a place she cannot go
Somewhere we know all too well
And like the truth you never tell
Like a promise that you keep
Does she watch you while you sleep
And see rivers run terrain
Over the magnitude again
And I know we’ll be 
Halfway between a history
And a myth that’s yet to wake
I stay away for both our sake
So you could never seek to find
A reason for your troubled mind
So you could rest in your chair
Know that love’s really there
In the slope or on the straight
The one thing you don’t have to wait
To find on open seas
But could you let go of me please
If you do not wish to find
Exactly what is on my mind
In days of yore and yet to come
She could be your only one
If I don’t interfere
But I’ll always love you, dear
And paint you sideways to refrain
And I hear that laugh again
Resounding from sides that ache
There’s nothing I can do to make
You see my side is true
And that part of me’s with you
On the sidewalk that you beat
How I love those blessed feet
That walk in time with me
For a moment, Infinity
