The Truth

Next to you there's a girl Sitting way too close but with some kind of distance between you That only I can see Your half-hearted smile seems aware of How ironic this scene is And her hand on her knees where yours should be looks out of place And what such is the place of a skipped love? Not knowing that she Is filling the space of something that never began Waiting to be revived because the lack of an ending Requires it to live Forever in your heart that can't let go The vision of something it longed for The memory of what could have been Before your mind decided To fill in the blank with a blaze that is Going to burn out while the flame of true love Is blinding you with its eternal brightness The momentary light not standing a chance to A wildfire Finding its way to your soul Encircling your thoughts Making you stand up, turn your head and Tell the truth
