Let's run away.
Go to a place of tranquility and serenity. Leave the worries of the world and run away to a desert island. Listen to the palm trees swaying amongst the sea breeze. Feel the soft delicate sand beneath our feet. Smell the crisp salty sea air. Feel the heat of the sun on our soft skin.
Let's run away together and go to a place of tranquility and serenity.

Like the shadow in the night, it lingers.
Like the faint ticking clock in the old rickety house, it lingers.
Like the sun setting on your favourite beach, it lingers.
Like the doubt inside your head, it lingers.
Like the choice you know you should make, you linger.
But linger too long and you might just miss your chance.

Those unspoken words,
Trapped behind feeling we don't really understand.
Those unspoken words,
Hidden behind fear and doubt.
All those unspoken words.
The silence between two people but the noise in the their minds so loud.
Yet it's all still left unsaid.

The sound of the chiming clock as the hours go past, chiming so all I can hear are the hours counting down too fast.
Loudly reminding me that it's almost that time again, it's almost that time to go back home to reality.
Another trip to the airport; the love/hate relationship we have with that place.
Another lonesome plane ride, another few salty tears trickling down my face, another tissue mopping them up because his t-shirt is no longer in my grasp.
Longing for the next plane trip to come around and cheer us both up but dreading the one that follows.
But to see the smile on his face and feel his arms around me is worth the wait and the countless hours we spend apart.

The night sky,
The sparkling stars glancing down at us,
Simple and beautiful,
Distant and inspiring.
Like you and I.

Lie next to me, let the world fade away into the distance.
It's just us here now, us and the night sky.
Us and the stars, the moon beaming down.
Everything is at peace, everything is at ease.
Everything is steady and right, just you and I.
As though we're the only two in the world.
In my eyes that's perfection, it's all I need. Just you and I.
