I remember the smell,
The kind that doesnÕt leave your side,
Gently fluorescent, unlike the blizzards of half truths,

Round this tree, you can see circles,
You can see her gazing into the air
Shunning the longest goodbye with her
Hands thrust from her hips

To a path I wonÕt let her use,
A ceiling of feelings
That wonÕt leave

That wonÕt test the speed of time,
Because here itÕs not too late,
Here I will never let this feeling go

The July of my life
Where parks and suns, thrills
Come to my doorstep
And I want it all

I want her to sit and stare with
The chair facing the small of her back
To the prized possession of it all;
To the thought of life, the living essence of us all

I want it, on the heels of this,
It will always be a night of us,
A silent wake,
to another bridge, of another place.
