You’re in my arms
And all the world is calm
The music playing on for only two
So close together
And when I’m with you
So close to feeling alive

A life goes by
Romantic dreams will stop
So I bid mine goodbye and never knew
So close was waiting, waiting here with you
And now forever I know
All that I wanted
To hold you
So close

So close to reaching that famous happy end
Almost believing this was not pretend
And now you’re beside me and look how far we’ve come
So far we are so close

How could I face the faceless days
If I should lose you now?
We’re so close
To reaching that famous happy end
And almost believing this was not pretend
Let’s go on dreaming for we know we are
So close
So close
And still so far

******

we both had known
we both had waited
holding on always
tightly to our  hearts

we both had tried
we both had wanted
to be able to let go
but our fear kept us apart

and now we're standing
right across
from where the other is
i can't believe how long
we've both remained so still

now that the wait is over

we're finding that it's been too long
and both of us- we used to be strong
but now we're not strong enough
to remember how to move

*****

i know i know
there has been this theme of...
strandedness?
being stuck?
immobility.

that's the word. immobile. STAGNANT

anyway now that i've exhausted my rather sad thesaurus, i'm going to go and be.... somewhere else.

and today, i am determined to learn to steer.
