Beneath the Surface
Beneath the Surface
I looked out through the window at you across the way
Thinking of our last words we shared, and how things ended that day
Who you and I once were, and all we use to do-
How things changed our relationship, which changed both me and you
Beyond both our reach; below it all, the way we feel-
Above what is imaginable, towards something that is not real.
Even though we both looked hard for love........underneath,
throughout, between.... It lies beneath the surface
Somewhere inside that could not be seen.
