The clock was ticking slowly,
and the more my eye
stared at it, the slower it went.
It seems to be the case
when you have somewhere to go.
Each agonizing moment
seems like a century.
But it didn't matter because
the anxious moments
held me back,
longer than the minutes ticked.
But soon enough
I was on the roads
I drove so many times before,
but this time with different
reason, different rhyme.
I hadn't seen him in years
that seemed like infinity,
and for once I was nervous
with happiness.
I approached the
ungodly filled terminal
parking lots with planes
floating, soaring about
my car as I tried to find
a spot to park
and walk
and find the place
where I'd greet you
and find you with your
face buried deep
within a book
because you were too
nervous to look up
and find me
looking anxiously for you
looking anxiously for me.
I kissed you in a way
that should have been
inplanted in your memory
from years ago in a dark room
with reflections of christmas lights
that were lit all year round.
And I caught you by suprise.
By the look in your eyes,
I could tell.
There was no hello
how was your flight?
Just soft lips that
grazed mine.
And nothing else was
said from there.
Just hands that were held
from there to my car.
And we listened to songs
that could only express
how I feel, mouthed
from some other chap
who fell hopeless in love
with someone he couldn't have....
and I wanted you so bad
all these years
but we know the
circumstances when someone
puts everything aside
and could be later recgonized
as a semi-decent person.
We got to Philly and
checked out some hot spots,
bars I sat in until closing time,
but this time in the company
of someone who should
have been mine
so many years ago.
And when we were finally ready
and the edge was off,
in a mediocre sort of way
we stepped back in my car
and drove back to the town
we first had met.
And it's been so long
since this has felt this way,
you've long moved away
and I was back in forth
and back again
in love and crushed
hearts I never knew exsisted,
turned out the bitch
and I'll stand that ground.
You can't please everyone.
But I thought....
I thought, I was okay...
but I'm told wrong
in other's ways...
couldn't do enough
to make someone else happy.
And drinks come and go
down our throats
and you look even more
pleasing to my eyes
than your voice does
over the telephone
all those long distant
nights I long for more minutes,
thinking it will bring me
closer to you.
Just with one word
that may keep you on the line
a few seconds more.
And we stumble into
my bed where I see
clothes hitting the floor
and bodies moving closer
to the center of the bed
and your eyes look at me
and hold them hypnotized
but only long enough
before I can't take it anymore.
And I kiss you,
in a more passionate way
than before...
you grabbed your bags
and we went to the bar.
This time I wanted more.
Wanted you to know
this is how I felt
about you before.
And without the words
you were able to tell
what I meant through
our lips, the lips that
touch your neck
and other parts
of your fragile body
that I warm.
And we fall asleep
and cold nights in January
don't seem so cold anymore
because I am here,
and you are here
and it's what we both
were longer for.
And we didn't even know it.
We had no idea that
all these years of
relentless fights
and uncaring...
people in our lives
would draw us closer
together.
It's terrible to think
we had to go through
all these things to
find out that what we
wanted was left
where it started
before you had to go
to the place that stayed
warm all year round.
But I'm sure you got
cold in that place
more than once.
And i'm sorry my
big heart wasn't there to
warm you the night through.
But I won't leave you
searching for a blanket
on the nights you feel
cold and lonely
if you won't leave me
in anticipation...
and you tell me this time
before it's really too late,
how you feel.
Because all the time
and the distance in this world
couldn't leave me away from you
if I knew there was a sure
fire way I should try this on for size.
and the more my eye
stared at it, the slower it went.
