Slowly…let this feeling linger in the air
Savor…every line and every contour
Your skin, your hair, the sight, the touch
Our shadowed forms eclipse this setting sun

Open up your twilight eyes
Let me memorize their color first
I’ll be tracing lines that you will draw
Across the oceans standing in-between

Fingers…trace the path of every fall and rise
Silence…catch your breath before the moment dies
Your face, your smile, the light, the sound
Our shadows fade into this setting sun

Open up your twilight eyes
Let me hear your song without a word
I’ll be tracing lines that you have drawn
Across the empty spaces in-between
And if I have to let go?
And I am left with only outlines
Then let me dance with your ghost
And I will trace the lines again and again

The touch, the taste, your smile, your face
This haunting memory of watching you just walk away
My heart it screams, “Why don’t I follow”?

But now it’s too late
The day is gone
So with this final sunset...

Open up your twilight eyes
Let me memorize their color first
I’ll be tracing lines that you have drawn
Across the universe that’s in-between
So if you really must go...I will cherish every outline
Just let me dance with your ghost
And I will trace the lines again, and again
And maybe in time...
And maybe in another life...
And maybe these lines...

...will lead me back to you

Tracing Lines
