and it would have been ecstasy
--you and i--

    dancing beneath
    the fireflies
    and moonlight.
    but the sky murmured promises of rain.

    and i saw
    the way you looked at her.
    i would never break you
    the way she did.

    you're the missing half 
    of my empty soul;
    and i would give my life
    for a moment in your kiss,

    an instant in your love,
    an eternity in your whisper.
    but you never see me
    the way you see her...

and it would have been ecstasy
--you and i--

    dancing beneath 
    the starless sky,
    evolving
    into man and woman.

    and as this final song
    melts into silence,
    i can almost hear... 
                     your heartbeat.
