It was just a fragment of time

Much like any other

Carnal longing consumed our thoughts

And left us melted to inaction

I thought I saw a hint of invitation

Glowing in the corner of your smile

But I was so oblivious

Lost in my shimmery world of you

That I forgot

The moment lost

Cast like fountain coins

Or those down wishing wells

Buts that’s ok,

It’s best that way

The heart suffers with interruption

These worlds we build of dust and dreams

Our exquisite masks of artifice

That so often disguise the beauty

That captured our souls

Where we began

And questions rise to fill the space

Instead we should have trusted Fate

And caulked our hearts with each other’s magic

Barriers to icy doubts that left us shivering

In quiet, yearning loneliness as we stood together

Our fingers joined, just holding on

To regrets of lost yesterdays

And promises of our tomorrows

And sometimes words are just empty, you know?

But there was that lightning instant

When we kissed the stars

And everything else is just nothing
