Kissing Deeply Blind

And kissing deeply blind.
I'll forever remember holding you
Or perhaps a few more times
We may never meet again

Uncover what makes us whole.
Perhaps we'll define purity
My eyes burning through your soul
If you close your eyes and feel

But we've spent centuries on a cloud.
We've never met before
This bar is hot and loud
Come closer I can't hear you.

Yet it's you that makes me breathe.
There's a million women here
You are interesting to me
Come back and sit and talk. 

Like why are you in such a rush?
Across the room he stares
When your blinded by a touch
It's rare to find that moment.
