There is an elderly couple Across from us at Max's Completely lost in each others eyes Seperate from the world Sheilded from the average pains of life Because they have each other And the joy that eminates from them Could overwhelm this entire place Yet, for me Is bittersweet Their joy forces me to think of you Sitting just beyond my grasp Eyes dancing in the candlelight Skin glowing Mouth in a continual flux of speech and consumption Watching you it is ever apparent to me You and I We Could never be them However long we tried Our chemistry will fade To be replaced with emptiness For now We'll enjoy this My abandon is not yet an option So I watch you Gazing at me And I can't help but laugh You'll never see it coming
