As it is fragile and it is fleeting
I will forever treasure this moment.
I will keep this memory of you
like the vision of a ghost that
made my heart pound,
fixed my feet firm to the ground.
Though the words fail me now
I can still hear the sound
of you saying my name.
I have not been the same
since that day.
Though the clock continues on
I am hopelessly trapped in time
with the fear of being alone
and the thought of your hand in mine.
Has my past been so cold?
Do I dare be so bold?
As the truth is to be told
you're a beauty to behold.
Let the clock do as it will
I am standing there still
to this day.
Now I wonder what you see
as you watch me walking by.
Maybe not the stranger that I was
but still just another guy
who may be careless with a heart
and rush in to the start;
who may be slow to learn the part
with no wisdom to impart.
A single track mind
oblivious to the time
and the day.
As it is fragile and it is fleeting
I will forever treasure this moment.
I will keep this memory of you
like the vision of a ghost that
tore my world asunder,
made me dream of the summer,
rang in my ears just like thunder,
and left me to wonder
if you never again say my name
would I ever feel the same
as that day?
Sometimes I hear a song
and the words aren't right
the melody is good
but i'm not quite sane so
the song has to change.
I don't even remember what song this started as.
But when i sing it in my head there are some very strange key changes.
