On that maryland airports ground I first saw her there
A cup in her hand, her face hidden beyond that dark hair
A summer breeze, a smile showing that wrinkled nose
Days like these, to far and few everyone knows
But that smile, that voice found its way beyond the walls of my heart
I was only miles from my choice coming to be the hardest part
In a mall in reisters or baltimore we saw that movie with the lions and scar
Comic shops and coffee shared, to few days before we would part
Plans to move in the coming winter
But I needed to sprint to her
My arms were to tight, and like the water of the stream she slipped from my grasp
I have loved not as I should, lies and deceit plagued the end its rasp
And in the fall I would see the end I was sure would never come
Closing the chapter I never wished to see done
The book of life won’t let me read that chapter again, just one more time
Memories flood and lasting love may go, but in it all I would find
The feeling of her hand on my shoulder or my back
Is all I pray god to restore on my lifes lonely track
On the quiet streets, when I close my eyes my mind unshared
I can sometimes still see her walking over there
I have loved, not as I should, when giving concrete I gave paper in return
And now wind and ice, snow as well cover the heart that once burned
And I see the end has come, to say goodbye
When all is said, all is done, no time to cry
I don’t know if heaven is really waiting for a man such as me
But I know right now what my heaven would be
My phone in my hand, scanning the room beyond the plane
And though some may say its only the wish of the insane
Heaven would have that cup in her hand, standing alone over there
A wrinkled nose, dark beautiful eyes, lips to kiss hidden under her dark hair
