First Date Eve
Right now you are an image I try to focus in my head,
but I just keep remembering all phone things we have said.
So, I’m just a wondering where I’m being led,
is this romantic lightness or something to dread?
It all lies before us now, a clean slate of time.
There are no injuries, no scars, no hurts of yours or mine.
So, as your face again fades and I think of plans we’ve made,
I sink into my pillow wondering if good dreams will be played.
What of this heart of mine, should I put it on trial?
Should I allow pain in so I might have the smile?
I guess where I have been and where I have still to go
will somehow trip land within all things love that I don’t know …
Don’t know if I wanna go where I’m not sure I’m going.
Don’t know if the unknown is something I should be knowing.
Don’t know what I’m looking for when I answer my own door.
I’ve twirled thru all shades of losing as they paled my heart sore.
