She smiles at me Sitting there everyday If only I knew who she was She smiles at me Pale skin bathed in light Her eyes ask me to stay If only I knew who she was Scared to shatter my delusion Silence holds me there She smiles at me anyway Swallow my fear She sits there wordlessly pleading Take my hand and look at me What am I to say? Another test? The past wasn't enough? Dark hair flowing Her grace undemanding If only she would stop smiling at me Close my eyes Wishing she'd disappear Close my eyes Wishing I was nearer Walk up to her Her twinkling innocence imploring Sit by her side and Whisper Why do you torment me? Are you only in my head? Is your smile the truth Or just another radiant lie? She smiles at me With ruby red lips parted An image of purity long thought departed If only I knew who she was She gets up with ease but with a strength unseen Surely she is salvation My perfect illusion Please don't leave Ive gotten used to you Grab her hand Cracks like glass Grasping at the breeze I'm sitting alone She smiles at me From far beyond Safe in my minds eye I know who she is Finally im free Open my eyes And smile ...He smiles at me Sitting there everyday If only I knew who he was...
