his voice was scattered with nervousness
and his sweat dripped like rain drops
taking off, his worst fear
he'd touch the red abort botton to stop
but he thought that there was too much to lose
if he went back to the terminal.
it was never enough, the fear of flying
caused him to lose in touch
just like playing hide and go seek
she went out hiding
while he searched for her
but never found her.
his cheapest cologne, and the roses he got
are not easy to get
when all the petals were missing
and all was left, was the green stem.
He looks toward the lights on the floor
wishing he wouldn't have to go through this
only to have a door
to take him straight to her.
pilot signals for the landing
and he runs toward the back room
pours water over his hair to atleast look
proper enough for a hello again
and look good enough to say bye with a smile
that says, "i came here just for you"
and let me tell you what he thought
from the chocolates, to the flowers he bought
it was still not enough..
the fear of flying...was still not enough
to make him go back to where he was
he'd go through the worst of destinations
he'd still be there for her
even if she totally forgot about them
and totally refused for communication
it was logical, but not to him..
he sat at night with the lights orangy dim
writting her little poems to read to her
if he gets there in time.
Riding the taxi, mr yellow man asks
"wear would i be taking you today?"
i replied with a smile
"to her house"
he nodded.
Rain starts to pour out of of the trees
and it drowned me in my clothes
i had thoughts of going back
but mr yellow man gave me
the look to go and never come back
the ink from the notes start to rub off me
sinking through my skin
like everything said on those notes
were now leaking to my heart
all the words i needed to say before
are now taped in my heart
and played in my head
now i know what to say, just incase
i put you to bed
this is where i want to be
and as soon as i walked on the porch
lights from under the door started to light
i smiled, knocked on the door
and all i knew...this was my night
