Fleeting

Listen to me watch your heart beat in the mirror…
I wish I could see you with my own eyes
But I share the view with the masses

These moments…
…though they’re fleeting…
…they are the ones that are worth keeping…
Sometimes I wish I had the courage to say to you, “You’re perfect”
…your simple grace comes from the shy smile on your face…

It’s funny how the things you don’t show
…are the things everyone else is dying to know…
Seeing your eyes through someone else’s guise…
…I’ll know then, for sure, where my true love lies

I love to hear you at my jokes
Your laugh stays with me ‘til I sleep
You’re the one I can envision curled next to me
As we stride together and make history

I sit here writing, dreaming of “What if?”

Pining over another chance soon fading away
…wishing my heart will never lead me astray
