Inescapable

I hate that one particular moment

when the painful realization would hit me

that you are never coming through the door ever again.

♫♪ All You Are ♪♫

I wanna see the world through your eyes for a day,

maybe catch a glimpse of what it's like.

To be so beautiful underneath all the pain,

maybe see the soul that lies inside.

You are, the face that you never show.

Ooh ahh, it hides all I wanna know, let me see.

All you are, it makes my heart break.

All you are, and I'm waiting here.

All you are, waiting all my life for.

The moment you might step outside

show me what's been hiding under there.

When you unlock the gate, twilight's fall daylights break.

Nothing stop the way I felt for you now.

Cause Ive seen through the nights,

through the tainted coloured glass.

Saw inside the love behind the shadow.

You are, the face that you never show.

ooh ahh, it hides all I wanna know, let me see.

All you are, it makes my heart break.

All you are, and I'm waiting here.

All you are, waiting all my life for.

The moment you might step outside

show me what's been hiding underneath

The past I know it's gone so fast,

sometimes the bad things stay.

While all the good tends to fade

out of your heart and mind

but somethings left behind

and baby no one can take it away yeah.

Translucency

It starts the moment the bright sun comes shining through the door.

I sit and watch you as I keep my fingers crossed. Hoping against hope that the thoughts I keep are the same ones you seek.

You shift a little. Anticipation. Words said. A smile. A witty remark. Laughter. Humming. Straining. Calling. Holding. A murmur. Silence.

I see you in front of me, but not really. There then gone in a heartbeat. Like the sun and the shadows playing hide and seek. A girl hopping from one to the other, pavement after pavement, chasing shadows, looking back and waiting for one to follow. So it continues until the sun turns red.

Say the goodbyes and the goodnights.

Perhaps tomorrow,

maybe tomorrow will be a different day

perchance in the morning,

I no longer need to wait.
