To be Here..

Last night, eyes became important

I could look at you with lust, would you fall for me?

Come forth because I will not stay here long

Seconds later, you may taste my teardrops

I am just like that woman you meet around the corner

Now, you can tell me this

 

The next morning I will not look at you the same

I will not look down your roads, or down my road

I will be searching for a new road

But really, I will be lost

Finally, lost

 

Still, I laugh inside as I look into your eyes

Something about this current atmosphere

Is the closest I can get to my dream home

I begin to see you in different ways

A hero, rescuer, doctor, agent

Someone with power

 

I will ditch control and be here

Because being here will do “something” for me

All parts go numb as I follow your lead:

Ignoring that you will not be here tomorrow

Ignoring that I will be searching

Finally, lost

 

Last night, eyes became important

My stare opened the closed door

A few flashbacks in mind

And the way I looked at you became romantic

Narrowing my gaze and lifting it again

When I knew I would leave myself

Through you, tonight.
