Space
The blessed half-darkness when the blinds went down
Little twinkles, dappled light, tinsel stars all around
The presence of you, much too near, far too much
The electric feeling when our fingertips touch
Don't know what's come over me, almost sad, I could cry
As my throat feels so sore and my lips become dry
My breath's just shallow pants and my heartbeats race…
"And that's everything you need to know about space!"
...
If it wasn't for the others, I'd watch no-one but you
How the vagaries of light bring your features to view
Mesmerized by your eyelids' hypnotic allure
I am drawn to your body in relinquishment pure
I could wish time would stop, just to savour your stare
And to run all my fingers through your strands of red hair
I would trace all the contours of your alabaster face…
"And that's everything you need to know about space!"
...
Though I resolved I would bear with your wound to the end
I betrayed my vows, ditched my man, my best friend
Days on end I would suffer from us two being apart
Desperation was withering the lily in my heart
But my love for you erupted and it brought me that far
Made me holler your name from the roof of a car
Fate was ready to send us on our separate ways
But we're now reunited, we occupy the same space
...
And that's everything I need to know
