I look in your eyes and see what has changed
And see how it tears you apart
By no effort of mine but the passing of time
A crack at the base of your heart
It’s up for debate the onslaught of fate
And how it has changed us now
But we’re nowhere near a place we can cheer
Or a place with some peace somehow

You tell me a truth that seems so aloof
And is filled with inspirational hope
I want to believe that you truly perceive
A future defined by this tempting scope
But your presence so near sure seems to appear
To suggest something just out of time
Your smile is close but what I need the most
Is your soul, your heart, and your mind

Now I do not suggest that our lives are a mess
And that our hearts are destined to fail
Nor that our choices made have been proven to fade
Our hopes into an intemporal jail
Instead I believe that the longing we conceive
Raises us up to an immodest fate
The sacrifice of love to a fate up above
In the end is our intertwined state.
