she skips thru meadows with halo on head
i smoke cigarettes under skyscrapers
miles and miles
from you,
from your wide smile that fills the day, some light i look for all the while
she, making love convenient
as if supposed to be;
held my tongue, tried not to run
to be vulnerable not all easy
but her presence here and there,
next door vs new york, i don't compare
only wanted to see you dance, see you free,
live your life of anything everything, breathed in ecstasy
as i'd love you all the same
thought this feeling could transcend titles,
myself only to blame
but baby, who was i to claim?
in trying not to push away
we forget to hold on, at all
listening everywhere for your voice, your call
i set up to watch it fall
i'll try to write without burning holes in this saddened black book
cry as paul reminds, love made is love took
as April now falls into May
i'll behold all things left forgotten to say
left sitting as idle as your abandoned admiration for me
only worth what's easy, right baby?
forget about your eyes, the ache
what's some love if not to break?
