Pledge the Silver Stars

Flying thoughts and stumbling feet Nervousness my stranger meets... Know him from my torrid dreams Not a when but rather who; Turning in my skirts for you- Kindred spirit; did we know? Fluid laughs and clever words, That I've met you seems absurd: Lifetime to a lost soulmate Then I'll never run in wind- Breath of air breathes into him; Falling from a foreign place Do you speak my language, sir? Was my heartbeat but a blur, To a blue-eyed searching gaze? Fireworks that don't combust; Takes a lie to earn my trust: Wonder in your past remarks What it was I've done to lose Word of love from him; I choose Filter to disguise my shame Ballroom has me hypnotized Seems to weep when I decide Curtsy to this golden prince As he makes his way to me My mind screaming, "You must leave," Yet my body won't obey- Now as I remain in place He reaches out to my face, And finally I will say "I saw you across the floor- Was afraid to speak once more Of how I've been drawn to you," Then he stands and contemplates; Trace his features while I wait- None will hold this moment's hand "Nothing is as it may seem, I have seen you in my dreams: Now I have you in my sight; Be prepared to stay with me Truth has turned my fantasy- We are pieces of a whole," From that moment on we twirled- Saved each other from the world; Eternity was a day
