Darkness obscures my vision, no longer can I properly see
Every corner I turn leads to nostalgia
We were perfect, until Fate took charge
Star-crossed lovers stripped of each others touches and soft caresses
We fell by the wayside, and slowly watched ourselves die
I suppose it was never meant to be, alas the heart is a stubborn mule
I recall a time when you'd lay by my side, the rain fallin on the window pane, and we'd be hiding in a safer place
Away from the stares, the gawking, the people, everything
Palm to palm we'd sit in silent bliss, never breaking eye contact for fear of losing sight of our most cherished possession
The memories are still raw, still fresh
Having a part of yourself torn violently from your grasp, leaves an ugly deformed mark on the soul
It was a lonely death in which no one cared and no one came
Fate let loose a cynical laugh
She had won
And where was I?
Scared to face another day with ghosts holding my consciousness captive
Hunched over, back against a bedroom wall that held so many fragile dreams
Your figure passes my window and my head ascends upwards
This is no mirage, this is reality
A sad smile is worn on that beautiful face of yours
He rests his hand tentatively on the glass
I stand and slowly stride forward
The window pane is frigid, but that doesn't matter
Nothing does, except this moment
And then Fate, unhappy with this revelation of sorts, broke us apart
I saw the love glimpse in those eyes, and you witnessed it in mine too
Because we both realized you don't get lucky twice, and that's the truth
