Close the door
(And your eyes)

And your eyes,
sullen.
Gazing back at me
those sad angel eyes.

And the tear gate
opened,
down your face.

And you feigned a smile
weakend.

as I closed the door,
your eyes closed too.
I closed the door,
your eyes closed too.
Open the door
(A shooting star)

You were my first
meteor shower,
our first kiss.

Holding your hand.
Kissing your neck.
Embracing ourselves.

We danced for hours
in Gods Country
standing by the bonfire.

I opened the door.
You never stayed
long enough to know...

long enough to know…
This was inspired by someone I dated back in grad school - I haven't made many attempts at long-term commitments however in this case I was willing to. Sadly enough, she was not sure of who she was or what she wanted...
I had to make a difficult decision in my life two years ago - i left behind someone who was and still is very special to me.
