The Same Story
Me? I’ll always be a mystery
A faint whisper, a veil of secrecy
But when searching eyes first meet it’s morning dew
Flush of red, world bright of blue
And so it begins– our touch of passion, our kisses of gold
I’ll say “I hope this never gets old”
You’ll fly me to the stars and through the wispy air
Twirling into your arms and I’m gone with your stare
We’ll laugh and dance our way through fields of fun
Playing, singing songs until the day is done
I’ll dream and dream alone of how life should be
Floating up in the clouds, far away from reality
But with every hour another dull moment past
You see my faults and wonder if it’ll last
The distance moves closer– I want to run away now
I’ll try to tell you but I won’t know how
Spinning minds create doubt and fear
Then sadness and anger when the end is near
We had climbed the mountain, we felt so tall
Until you realized it meant nothing at all
And the story repeats itself again and again
Like autumn’s beginning and winter’s end
Your scenery forever marked in my mind
Breathe; the hurt will heal with time
My puzzle pieces were too many too few
But you’ll simply carry on with someone new
The beauty of springtime dew and summer sun
A love that shines and you had won
I imagine if familiar eyes do meet again
I’ll strain a smile and just pretend
But if that day never comes– maybe– in passing– you’ll think of me
Some girl that remains a distant memory
This world of many faces, I’m out of place
A lonely heart still left to embrace
My true soul, my love, I wish you knew
But I’ll always be a mystery to you
