Tea For Two

In this life
there comes a moment
we decide who we are
and who we want to be....

We think we are safe and happy
joy turns to ashes in your mouth
suddenly you realize
the debt is paid....

You meet a girl
hurricanes can't remove her
from your mind
she's your world...

Our fate is rarely known
only shadows can fight shadows
only darkness
can defeat the dark...

I love her
even in the dark
we are fireflies
fireflies can't live without the dark.
