In the wake of Surreality

In the disclosure of the moment
hid captive in the spontaneity
and within those somber eyes
your long lashes they looked beautiful

for a girl who didn't believe her features
shied away in that moment of silence
encapsulated in curiosity
and in the magnificence of short-livedness

the urgency to dissimulate
yet suppress the urge to know little more
before I leave you here
not knowing if the idea was insane

the longing to hold you back there
and make time go still on both of us
your lips they quivered in a meaningful attempt
to break the silence that lingered between us

just in time when I looked at you from that distance
so naive, so untouched, forever pure
those eyes that looked back at me cast a magic spell
when I blinked to look around for you

I couldn't see a sign of you
like I just woke up from a reverie
but everything about it was so real
that velvet dress you wore
the heat of those unspoken emotions so modest

and those eyes, they held me captive forever in a memory of you.

I'll be right beside you

Your face so changed from yesterday

The big grin’s gone, your gaze is lost

Bad news hit me like that thunderbolt

Denying the probable, my impossible

We’ve gone too far along

To step back and let dreams dissimilate

Trying hard and bringing down the odds

This battle can’t be lost

I see you in sight

With a patient face, and infectious smile

Composed in a future bright

Please take your time

You’ll figure it out

And I’ll be right beside you

Go if you have to

Nothing you’ve done to make me love you less

Your love won’t fade away

Come back when you can

And I’ll be right beside you

If this big dream is crashing down

Let go, but hold my hand

We’ll dream another time

The best is yet to come

And I’ll be right beside you.
