Brushing Past
I can’t touch that part of you
That wall can not be breached
You won’t let down your defenses
That separate you from me
Stuck in a chain of moments
That were not meant to last
Telling it to my memories
When I relive the past
Face down in this recollection
From the time that you were here
Moving in your own direction
Brushing past when I was near
I don’t know what you’re seeking
Maybe you don’t know your self
But it wasn’t me you were looking for
Or love in and of itself
Keep your heart protected
Don’t let down the wall
But the loneliness that surrounds you
Won’t protect you from the fall
