I caught a glimpse of you
Behind the wall of tinsel
And a thousand words exploded in my mind
You stood there so eloquent
While your eyes told me fables
Though your gaze I could never find
Like a distant rainbow
I kept debating within myself
"Could I ever catch you if I chased you?"
Was there a *** of gold?
Or just me playing the fool?
Unanswered questions burned through and through
I was whisked into deep daydreams
Where my hands would set sail
Across the ocean that was your skin
Your lips met me softly
There was a hunger awaiting birth
The fabric of bedsheets between us, paperthin
Then I cursed reality for its unwelcome return
To exact revenge upon my conscience
And you disappeared, fiancée closely in tow
I should have disconnected
I should have burned the prologue
But happily ever after beckoned me to say hello
