There are certain moments suspended in time
perfect moments, when the world stood still
and all you could feel was the certainty of love
and the beating of two hearts
And when the world becomes too hard to bear
you pluck these treasures from your mind
and replay them over and over again
and smile with remembrance
that once there was a time in your life
when love conquered all
I reached over and touched your face
hoping to wipe away any trace of tears that remained
Instead my fingers stayed, running along the contours of your jaw
exploring hollows, tracing your lips
all the while whispering words only kindred souls can hear
My life is full of empty spaces
haunted by shadows
embraced by strangers
I wander without aim
looking for a place I know that exists
but I have never reached
I steal rides on the wings of others
and find that I have not moved forward at all
but left a path strewn with lost dreams
