Today,
my heart
it hurts
and my mind
it left on vacation.
Thoughts of mine
make no connection.
Thoughts of you
alight me with desire.
The synapses,
they misfire.
The transmission
it's slipping.
I've fallen.
I am falling
--falling deeply,
madly in love.
And no longer can I stop myself.
And I ask,
How do you slow this ride?
How can you change the tide?
Put my heart up on
that shelf
and leave it for a
rainy day.
Maybe wear it on my sleeve
and ask you
to stay.
Just for a while.
Until all is right.
Wash ourselves
in the sweet,
sweet
morning light.
Like times before,
we know what
we have
each other
for.
