Let Me Let You In on a Little Secret

People push people towards wherever their hands direct them to. I happen to fall out of place, people here, people there. Then you smile at me and they all disappeared.

Sun rays glisten and rain down on me as if embracing my whole body. We looked forward to my past and never looked back to people living fast-paced lives. No cold stares or annoying whispers. Let’s run away from it all. Hold on tight, we’re gonna fly.

And as we turn back time we moved a little farther. Give me a little piece of who you have been and what you’ve been through. Make me feel I belong; I am entering your world… as you already have entered mine.

And what would I not give to stay this way? Make the blue turn to gray, and look deep in my eyes. Another feel on the throat, another breath to share. Our world now full of colors even the rainbow doesn’t define.

Broken glass.

Snap back to reality. We have landed on both feet. Hard. No more songs to lull us to sleep; the blue-turned-gray is back to brown. I am still lost in you but you turned away. Goodbye, my light.

The lining of the clouds captivate me as we walk. With no words… we’re leaving us behind.

Chase the sunset away. Bring me back my unfinished day.

People push people towards wherever their hands direct them to. I happen to fall out of place, people here, people there. Smile at me again and make everything else disappear.

Then with quivering lips and trembling hands, three words were spoken… but unheard.

Say it again.

Then three words now happen with a too. Hush and stay close so they can’t hear… Stay quiet and stay near… but the night must take over.

Goodbye, my light. Burn and fade into the night.

And as I lay and lull myself to sleep, I’ll let you in on a little secret no one else could keep.

Hush and stay close so they can’t hear.
Oh, burn and fade into the night.
