Nothing Is As It Seems

~Nothing Is As It Seems~

                                          Our words faded in the air..
                                   We kept running circles in a square..
                                 We left our good byes out on the road..
                                     The flames fanned by tears flowed..
                             My last look captured your face like a picture..
                            No wallet size photos or keepsakes to hold her..
                     So sad to blow away the final kisses that I still can feel..    
                Now I walk and run around on paper, jumping lines just to heal..
                        Just one more kiss or hug is something only in dreams..
              We both flew away in a warm light where nothing is as it seems..

I wrote this after hearing a song called "Last Kiss Goodbye"
by David Cook... and it stired up some old memories of mine..
I Just put it into my words and theme.....
