As she walked by
She made me turn
Like I had seen a flashing light.
As she walked around the corner
She looked at me a little longer.
In those moments
I forgot where I was.
Just as fast
She was gone.
The night had me surrounded again
But in my heart
The light was still on.
Everything was not as it was.
Night became day.
Day became night.
Adding her went at the speed of light.
She was easy to find
Like she had read my mind.
I want to ask her to be mine
For a moment at a time
But I fear she may deny me,
Wake me back to life.

Let's Don't Do This
"I just can't do this anymore..." "Do what?" What can't you do? Put gas in your own car? I swear to God you make me take care of everything, don't you? You know I'm on my way to work right now but that never stops you from bothering me, does it?"
