Just for a Moment


For just a moment I felt a shift
Like your soul was about to drift,

Away from me…

I could feel your beating heart
Then suddenly mine would-not-start,

Without yours…

I was lost…
No words were spoken,
When your soul left
My heart was broken

How close can two people be?
So close I could not see, 

That you were not happy…

Why is it that it takes leaving?
For us to begin believing,

That what we have is real
That the passion that we feel,

Somehow gets corrupted…
By misunderstandings that have interrupted,

Our love affair…

For a moment when you left
It felt like a midnight theft 

Of my single beating heart…

Like a quick pick-pocket hand
I did not understand,

Until your love was gone…

Gone from the harbor of my soul
A vacant hollowness for me to know…

That even now, you still loved me…

For just this one moment
My wish would be just this
That we could turn back the hands of time
And share again a kiss
Feel the fire like when we first began
Make up and understand,

Each other,

Just for a moment…
