Diaphanous curtains hang keeping us separate
I see you and yet you are so far away
All I can do is scream helplessly, save me
and then, trembling wait, hoping that you will stay

And you must be laughing out there in the crowd
Your mind cannot bother you there in the distance
You're trying to fight hoping that it will pass
Until you come knocking again in your trance

It's terrible wanting that which you can't have
And yet at the same time the feeling is marvelous
The waiting and hesitant touches and glances
And then in our carelessness we just forget

Your kisses and touches are not searching pleasure
Your fingers so naturally lace between mine
And then in the morning it fades like a lost dream
For days, weeks on end, we pretend that it's fine

Why did we get lucky enough to enjoy this
When it is clear we will have to move on
Because we both know that this twirling euphoria
Is something that cant possibly last very  long
