In this world of hate and haste and greed
When everything was in fast forward
And I could never catch my breath
In the middle of it all, I held out my hand
Trying to touch the surface of reality
And as my longing hands met yours,
Through the mirror of all things unknown
I saw in your eyes, dreams of yesterday,
And tears for tomorrow.
In our hearts we forgot the world
The speed and the rhythm,
The show, the blitz and the chase
I saw in you what you saw in me
I wrote lines on lines about you
Songs poured out like lost symphonies
Found.

And in this world of hate
I stood by you in the shade of life
Watching the waves kiss the shore
And return back as transient tides
Never again the same, never again right
I look into your eyes and see the stars
That burned out long ago in our lives
Some say they were our dreams
Most say they were the light of our souls
That lost their way in the darkness.
The shadows were never inviting
Always darker than the darkest black
As I touch your face, every moment
Every breath stops, silent as time
Frozen.

And as I look into the mirror
Tears cloud every field of vision
On the other side, a figure stands, lone
Searching, for someone as lost as her
I see myself, a man, a woman, helpless
Alone.
