The Uncrossed Line

The Uncrossed Line

There is a line between you and me
One that we have yet to cross
Both knowing that our affair
May come at too great a cost

Sometimes this line is great gulf fixed
At other times no more than a thin fine wire
But we walk this line and take that chance
Moving the kerosene ever closer to the fire

The fates have conspired to keep it there
When our bodies and minds have not
Every well-made plan has been foiled
Sometimes by an appointment one of us forgot

We play this game with each other
Knowing that one of us will lose
Not daring to think about tomorrow
Or which one the fates will choose

So you'll take my hand and dance with me
Till the line forever fades away
We live not our lives for tomorrow
For fear of losing our today
