This room leaks secrets
So we fill it with music
Then improv our own

Watching from afar I
admired you adored you craved you

Once I met you, I couldn't get you out of my
head heart castle in the air

Time passed
I was a bit crass

And now that I see you
beyond the desire
through the dreams
and without the delusions

I’m disappointed

They say the gift is self fulfillment
That I must look to myself for happiness
But I can't find a mirror.

to You, the one not too far yonder, the one facing That way
   I'd like to meet you - or rather you meet me
I'd like to leave a mark - my mark
   With you
But what could I say?
   What wouldn't scare you away?
   But instead, make you stare a little longer - not That way

I could tell you everything
   But then you might refuse it
      refuse Me altogether
I could tell you nothing
   and just take a few, measured inches closer
      But then you might never see it

Instead, I'll tell you Something
   and with this Something I hope you'll look
   look and see another Something
      about Me
   a Something I didn't know I wanted you to see
   a Something that will make it so we're both looking This way

Hello.
