• i looked into her eyes
    from 100 miles or more
    they sparkled so bright in the sun
    and when the clouds covered her
    she was her own sun
    just open up and let the rays out

    and every day she went down to the lake
    what magnificence she brought with her
    wrapped around her like, oh,
    like mist, reflective of every color
    she put her hand in the water
    and i hoped it would come this far downstream
    so i could catch it in my hand

    i'd always press my lips to the wind
    and the wind to her lips
    and back again
    whispering kisses back and forth
    nature herself jealous at our displays

    we'd look at the moon together
    and sing together, alone
    a little off-key but still a personal harmony
    i'd always hum a little tune
    and she'd sing it onto the page
    and we'd hang and echo
    masked in a sort of glamour

    one day i kissed her
    "how long have you known me?"
    and she kissed back
    "tell me your name and i'll have known you forever"
