Across The Room 1-20-04

If they saw the two of us

Strangers to the newness

Feeling the forces between us

Like two lost lovers meeting for the first time

Leading one another - your hand in mine

Leaving out others and creating a yours and mine

I saw the women you need to be

You never had to asked for the right to feel

You felt, and I followed your lead

If there was a script - we played the part

If there was a drug - we lost control

If there were directions - we got lost

Seeing us from afar, open to be

Each step designed to bring us forward

Not knowing where it might lead

I saw it in your eyes

I felt it move through us

We let go and began to realize

How two can merge and live on the feelings that they have

How one walks into your life – like a single kiss from the past

How someone’s stare holds you in time - you make it lasts
