Intermission

I was dancing to my own beat Living in my play Finding a moment To whisk myself away There you stood before me Quickly I did fall You began to show me A passionate grace You found me at my intermission Waiting for my curtain call You found me at my resting point It made it easier for me to fall I listened to all the pretty words Between the soft touches Your quiet nature drew me in Found myself lost in it all We had nothing in common From two different worlds You made me feel like a queen being courted by a pauper I was told it was impossible They said that we were too different Told that I could do better It was something I wouldn't believe I was thankful you found me at my intermission That I missed my curtain call Thankful I was distracted And you were there to catch me in a fall We had our day It was priceless Simple like our love Quaint and subdued Our first moments started drastically Fear began to persist I saw you die in front of me You saw me fade because of this I kept you alive through all my pain Trying to make us survive Crying every night Wondering what became of my life Our touch became nothing A wishful thought in my mind I couldn't live each day like this And I gave up the fight I found my own solution Since you wouldn't come to me This would be the finale What would set me free I felt no guilt for my decision It was the end of my intermission And as our final day came There was a new peace The orchestra began their song My curtain call was waiting for me I had a greater part in life And it required you to leave
