I saw you on the screen
But when I looked into your eyes
I realized, we are all just mirrors
And that the Destiny lies in the
In between.

You can cover yourself in makeup,
As I cover myself in my lies,
But lady, lovely, I would die,
If it would only mean,
You would wake up,
Bare for only mine eyes to see,
Your naked soul there,
Next to me. Warming.

The sun does rise, I promise you,
Sweetly, and those hard times,
You find yourself upon emptily,
Wisdom is not gained happily, no,
The pain you know seem all consuming,
But release onto me your sorrows and trials,
And I will consummate your trust verily.

And In that darkness where you find yourself
alone and cold among strangers just know
Any one of us could be someone you love
if only you gave life a chance then, surely,
You'll find some light to guide you home
And you just might find me waiting for you there,
You, my perfect Destiny.
