Hard to say
Harder to know
Where these places and people will go
Away from us
Away with us
Perhaps neither here nor there
Nothing seems certain
But love still seems to be the only answer
Not the simplicity of just the love between a man and a woman
But something much greater
Something that must save us all
If only we can believe
Every day is different
The difficulty comes at great contrast
Relative are these days, some slow, some just too fast
But even without the answers
And maybe even without the questions
We can hold on
Even if we don’t know to what
Even if we don’t know to who
We are bound by our blood
Our skin and bones as humans
The beat of our hearts inside our chests
Even if no beat the same
We are tuned to each other like the slow moving feet of a ballerina and the music released from a bow on a violin
Beauty is what love makes possible
Something we cannot give nor take
But are instruments of
Capable of such great and retched heights
Hoping to find a balance between
While the lingering high of ecstasy torments those days in-between
A taste of heaven before death
Places a burden on a man of unrest
So with each day, we wake
And with each breath, we take
We grow closer to the love we’ve convinced ourselves we cannot be without
And to settle would be to die
And in death the ones we loved would cry
And maybe there will or wont be gates opened in the sky
But what chance are you willing to take?
With just one lifetime to make
Something big out of something small
A story, a soul, a memory to change it all.
