Incidental Contact
Tattered pieces of time
Envelope my very soul
Awakened by the silence
As the tears began to flow
All those borrowed memories
Forever now returned
A perfect lover's serenade
Never to be learned
Just incidental contact
Is what was meant to be
Trading passing glances
For all eternity
Stolen hopes and dreams
For a future that didn't last
Shattered broken promises
Discarded to the past
I count the very heartbeats
That's spelling out your name
While looking for a reason
Or someone else to blame
A priceless hidden treasure
That none could count the cost
Cursed, without redemption
For the love that I have lost
