Chapter 4: Intermission

Where to?
Where do I go?
The chance that you get is the chance you seize.
Flying at the speed of sound,
If you could see it then you'd understand.
A light that I couldn't see,
All those signs that mean what they meant,
If you could see it then you'd understand.

Speak to me,
It's been said…
Let me be the fire in your head.
Bring Take Meet On the other side.
Better Sweeter Beyond the sun.
Look for me,
Is that you in the distance?
Never have to speak again.

So much for holding on,
I'm still here.
A simple kiss…
If I wait right here,
Will you come back to me?
Was I for you?
All the words we said…
I'm losing touch,
…losing you,
I need you.
I love you.
Wrong and right,
Holding on to what we felt.
Against the world,
It was me and you.


I step back and take this intermission

Life in perspective, focus

Believe, breathe

Here without you

Not beside me

What should I do?

Where should I be?

I want you here with me

In my arms

So safe, secure

Hiding from the world,

My flaws and fears

I take this intermission for you

I climb, I fall

I fly, I die

With, without you

My arms long to hold you

My lips ache to kiss you

My eyes burn to behold you

My ears desire to hear you

My lips demand to taste you

Kiss you, love you


Intermission

My arms long to hold you,

But you're too far from me now;

My lips ache to kiss you,

I've got to get to you somehow.

And I take this intermission

To put my life in words.

And to finally see

Where to go, how to be;

The fastest way to you.

My eyes strive to see you,

Even though you're nowhere near;

My ears yearn to hear you,

So softly, and I listen:

Your sweet words of promise,

Your harsh words of pain,

Your breathless moans of pleasure

As you whisper my name.

And I take this intermission

To put my life in words.

As I finally see

What to do, where to be;

And all I see is you.

We climb only to fall,

We fly only to die.

But no matter how far,

Held in your arms,

Safe and secure,

Is where I want to be.

So I take this intermission

To put my love in words.

And to finally be

Where you're beside me;

I take this intermission for you.
