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
