I Closed My Eyes and Counted Backwards,
While You Took the Wheel and Disappeared Towards
a Sunset that in Your Mind Led To Somewhere Beautiful.
And All the Time, While the Radio
Went On and On and One by One
the Stars Turned On and Blinked
Like Fireflies on a Moonless Night,
There I Stood and Thought…
I Thought About Yesterday, of When We
Were Stuck on the Many Levels of the
Unknown, When There Wasn’t
Much to See or Talk About and We
Lied so Well It Tasted Only of Truth…
I Thought of When We Fell in
Love with Our Best Ideas.
The Same Ideas That Seemed to
Have Brought Us Only Disasters
That Later Turned Out to be
this Curse Of Trying to Stay Alive.
The Same Curse With Exploding Reds and Blues,
Missed Opportunities, and I Don't Cares…
And I Just Thought of this While I Closed My Eyes
and Counted Backwards, All the Time Trying to
Understand Why You Wanted So Badly To Disappear...
