The unearthly calm
Rises from within
And it tells me 
You must be with him
And he’s miles away
And a girlfriend down
But he was a hero
Just outside of town
When we were teens 
He was the man of my dreams 
And I spied him through a tiny gap
In the thicket ( I didn’t need a map )
And I had the fear he might find out
So one day I just swallowed my doubt
And professed my love on a screen
Said you are loved by the queen
Of sometime, maybe, I dunno when 
But I swore I wouldn’t speak up again
When you shut that thing down
And I don’t blame you, it’s just the sound
Of the door slamming reverberates 
And every time you move the earth quakes 
And I’m still and then all a-stutter
I catch hold of something that you mutter
As evidence, as proof
That you may not be aloof
And maybe you’re just an emotional male 
Who’s heart is not for sale 
So though I offer a million bucks 
You’re not giving any fucks 
And my respect for you just increase 
That your soul is not for lease
And I fear one or both of us might decease
Before life again lets us meet
