Bus 2


I stared out of the window
And looked at the same old structures
Noticing the slight difference in color
Or was it my eyes that changed the pictures.

My mind slowly crawled into what had been
What had transpired, what had changed
What used to be normal, what used to be natural
now looks so specially strange.

I closed my eyes and pictured you
Looking at me, feeling the soft beat of your heart
Penetrating through, discovering the partial sadness
Caused by the underlying truth that may draw us apart.

This may be crazy, this may be wrong
Risking the life I have always known
Taking chances for what’s forbidden
For a love I can call my own.

I got up for another day of work
This time with a mind set to decide
Whether I’d forget the angel who flew with me
Or live with his genuine love by my side.
