Welcome to our life
We see the void
And our efforts to avoid it
We choose instead
To love…as if we can avoid it.
I picture us dancing
In a circle.
Not perfect but predictably
Around our open wounds.
If our courage came from yesterday
Then tomorrow comes from grace.
Victoria, my lady, you need not thank me anymore.

Watching the rain as it floods over the window sill
I could move, I could go but instead I'm still
Try to forget the memory of this
But instead I rest here and reminisce
Remember we made a language of our own
A language only spoken when we were alone
The words were fake and unimportant
They weren't much
But in the room where they were spoken they felt
They felt like us
Watching the rain as it floods over the floor
I could run I could retreat but I must want more
I close my eyes I smell your taste on my upper lip
Suddenly on Halsted Street, this is the part I'd like to skip
Remember we played pretend like it was warm
Under bright lights, was paradise we would have sworn
The act put on, a piece of fiction
It wasn't much
But on that train platform
It felt like us
In the rain I watched you
In the rain I watched you disappear
In the rain I saw you
In the rain I saw you disappear
