I remember running my fingers through the city
And it was a pity 
You were not there
Because you would see how much I care
About the fire that burns 
Into being every time the world turns 
And the girls were all I knew 
When I would topple a little askew 
Out of the nearest club
And love
Was a foreign word
Til I met a beautiful bird
A phoenix rising from the ashes 
I hit the button and, man, it cashes
Out
And my self doubt
Falters as he looks me in the eyes
And I’m reborn as that which never dies
And I could say his name
But I’m sure he knows, all the same 
Just who he is
He is the boy I let live
As he circled my gravity
At a point of infinite density
But something draws him back to me 
Even after all these years 
And the snowflakes pouring tears 
As they melt in the sun
He is the one 
I knew better than my old coat 
He kept my hope afloat
When I picked him up in my car
And I drove us all to a bar 
Somewhere near Eddie Rockets 
And he empties his pockets 
Buying a drink for me
Made me think about eternity
And what we could be 
If I let him come close to my mystery
He throws his arm around my shoulder
And now that I’m older
I can appreciate
The fact that we didn’t date
But just revelled in the pure
That passed between us sure
Of it’s place in the atmosphere
An elliptical orbit that has found me
Circling back to where we were born 
And the glasses that I would have worn 
If I hadn’t given my gaze
To the boy I chose to save
At seventeen 
And I woke his dream 
Up mid nightmare
I didn’t mean to scare
You with my heavy handedness
It’s just you seem in distress
And I want you to know 
That the light never lets you go
And in the bask of this peace
I remind them I never cease
To be where I promised I am 
Loving Him is God’s plan
