I look as I walk by
You smile back
Walking ahead
As our souls scream out
Frantically reaching hands
The same eternal longing
Throughout
…five thousand lifetimes
Pulling at us
To please
…give in
How deep is this ocean of feeling
we have set our hearts in
Yet here we are
…Pacing the shore again
Pretending with nods and smiles
While inside
The thunderstorm of connection
has knocked all the power out
Maybe no one would notice
…if I reach for you in the dark
