what I see now is us

When I look in your eyes

I don't see you

I don't see depth

I don't see blue

I don't see lips

So full, so true

I don't see love

Or the fragrance of you

Doesn't fill up my senses

And make me feel weak

Reaching up for your hand

As you're stroking my cheek

I don't see a man

That's learned of life's knocks

And ridden the waves

Recovered from shocks

I don't see a man who's given himself

To make my life be

Full of love

And of wealth

The wealth of another

To have them complete

By your side on your path

Or sitting on the same seat

I don't see a man

With a generous heart

Who won't let me guess

Who won't let me part

But sat waiting for me

And making things clear

I was loosing myself

As I always was here

And I don't see a man

Who shared the same dream

And saw the same face

And pulled the same seam

What I see is a man 

Who makes my heart beat

Who makes my lungs fill

Who makes me complete

My visions a blur

My thoughts are a buzz

It's not you that I see

What I see now is us.

that will not go

Living out the love songs

Read between the lines

Every time my heart beats

Every clock that chimes

It counts another moment

It finds another place

Where your eyes will meet with mine

Where your hands are on my face

And we sleep with bodies touching

Wrapped around with arms and legs

And your nose rests on my temple

And my mind is full of dregs

That are slowly leaving off now

And leaving us alone

New beginnings made together

Another half that will not go.
