Assent

Once you were unattainable Once I was separated by the years For a moment you were there But I saw you through ignorant eyes And yet I must have felt the tie That formed despite my fears Will there ever be a you and me... All you have to say is yes… Once you looked past me Once I searched for another A brief word was uttered But I was without recognition of the voice I didn’t know there was a choice For you were neither friend nor lover If only you would look a little longer And all you have to say is yes… Once we crossed paths Once we looked the other way Now we’ve circled around again and you’re standing in front of me This time I won’t let you leave This time I have so much more to say Are you already aware of it all… All you have to say is yes… Once you saw someone else Once I was touched by a different heart Now I only feel your hands And see nothing but your face I’m awake and not a moment’s going to waste Will you show me where to start… All you have to say is yes… Once you were unattainable Once I was separated by the years Now you’re saying forever And I’m looking at you through blinded eyes I see you smile and hear you sigh As you kiss away my tears You’re looking at me in assent For what you just said was yes…
