The look of men as they cross my path
And something in their stillness dulls the wrath
Of the God inside my heart
One’s a musician, another makes art
Another studied with me in school
And we broke every rule
That night in Tripod when we
Kissed the edge of destiny
And made two into the one we are
He reminds me of a burning star
In its effervescent red
And I know he took other girls to bed
But it doesn’t dim the look in my eye
Because I know that I would die
Just to see him smile
And I haven’t seen him in a while
But we are connected on a level beneath
The roads that move under our feet
Do you remember the night I chased you down
As you tried to escape to your side of town
And we talked about having a cup of tea
As you looked over at me
Wondering what I might mean
But you are more than the dream
Supping oxygen in the tent
I wonder where those years went
And you threw your arm around my neck
In the days reality seems to wreck
With it’s assurance of get to be
But you were everything to me
And somehow you still are
I wonder if your heart
Is still the same hue as it always was
I needed you to know because
It’s not every day you meet upon the trail
A love that simply will not fail
So when you look up into the sky
Know that there’s a love that will never die
And it burns for you here
In this heart beyond the fear
Of what they might say
You showed your cards and I play
My own onto the table so you see
That you meant the whole world to me
