how soon is now
when you say that
we are what we are
and how soon is now
when it passes by seconds
in your blinking eye
how can one man stand
alone in a crowd and not
feel the beating of a heart
inches away from his hand
when you see those eyes
catching yours with a
closing elevator door
can you say you took
your chance and leaped
and caught the moment
and when you say that your
scared what do you mean
when you cry against me at night
and say your confused
and tell me that you love me
when i want to touch you
in a way that makes my body
seem to crave you more
then the sleep i miss at night
when i arch my body toward your
memory that i see fleeting across
the shadow on the ceiling
could you show me for a moment
what this confusion is when
your hand reaches for me
and catches my cheek in it
and wipes away the tears that form
when i think of your hand
not touching me and capturing my tears
and kissing it away
how soon is now when you say
you love me but you just don't know....
how soon is now......
