The Neverending Love Song

From the very moment my eyes fell upon you, alone on sandy beach Your skin as brown as treated wood, your hair as white as bleach You became my one and only, in stealing half my soul You became my one ambition, my solitary goal You ricochet inside my skull, like a pinball machine Trespassing my darkest secrets, inhabiting my dreams I speak a word you sing a song, I stare blankly and you smile For you I’d die a thousand deaths, I’d run a thousand miles And I swear that I will find you; I’ll hold you in my arms We’ll elope to distant beaches, you’ll never come to harm We’ll run away from city smoke, high rise buildings, steel and cars We’ll race the sun to the horizon, then rest under the stars We’ll only take ourselves, our love, a can of kerosene We’ll light matches in our footprints, burning all that’s ever been We’ll write letters to each other; float them in bottles out to sea Love songs never to be sung, except by you and me And when we get too old, too slow, to keep up with the sun We’ll walk across the endless sand; we do not need to run Our race is drawing to a close; I may have days before I’m dead But I do not need time on my side, if you are there instead The sun will slowly creep away, knowing we are beat And we will stand and wave goodbye, gracious in defeat We’ll sit and remember days of now, when there was no end in sight I’ll hold you in my dying arms, kissing you goodnight And when the curtain does descend and leave us in the gloom I’ll be lying right there next to you, I’ll share your starry tomb I need no pearly gates, no clouds, just sand and salty air Why would I need angels if my own angel is right there? And then our ghostly forms will rise, to be scattered by the salt But nothing will ever tear us apart, neither storm nor lightning bolt We’ll dance a tango through the skies, at mercy of the weather Together for eternity. Just you and me forever just don't ask me how it turned out :-p lol

Very well; I hear; I admit, but I have a voice too, and for good or evil mine is the speech that cannot be silenced.
