At the bottom of this cold, dead-end street
Is where you and I finally meet
There is nowhere else for us to go,
So here, in this moment, I gladly live,
Though life has proven in its cruel way
Nothing will survive outside this existence
You light the darkness around me
Like a candle’s breath in the cold
You haunt the halls of my mind,
Never letting me go
You are all that I wish to seek
Even if next to me you stand,
Just beyond my ability to reach
There are so many obstacles to bridge
Too much life, love, and years
To bring this longing to it’s end
And not enough time in the world
To even know where to begin
But in this in this hidden space
The boundary between our lives
Has been set aside and traversed
We can love and are free to hide
From the truth of our curse
If we never find our way out of this place
To stand in the sun
And bridge this chasm of space
In spirit we will be heart to heart
And face to face
And my heart will happily reside
In the strength of your hands
And the spark of your eyes
