Today I saw you…
Really saw you…
At your best…in all your glory.
I imagine…the way he sees you…
Olive skin radiant, long curled mocha tresses bouncing and blowing perfectly in the wind.
Round jubilant espresso orbs filled with love to the point of overflowing…
My heart aches for you a little…because I know…
And I wonder if you know…or when you might…
That it will never be enough.

Just a tear
Really no big deal
Just a tear
Something I don’t feel
Just a tear
One nobody sees
Just a tear
Wiped away with ease
Just a tear
Really nothing at all
Just one tear
As the final curtain falls

A tangled web we weave
In fleeting moments of anger
We build what I call
Bridges across time
Endless efforts to secure
The very thing that we endanger
Leaves us breaking away
To keep our frame of mind
Fearing loss of independence
We’re quick to take a stand
Wounding ever fragile egos
One really must be kind
Suddenly it’s later
We’re walking hand in hand
Wandering through the years
Over bridges across time
