Swept Away

by selene   Sep 20, 2007


You have her
and i have him
but all around me
all around you
we can feel the gravitational pull
how i long to
how you long to
hold you closer
hold me closer
i have his love
you have her love
in this life, we all have a chance
to leave security and drift
rather, be swept away
by a wayward wanderer
but the chance slips
and though i watch his lips
and i watch him watch my lips
our eyes meet
and a heat is shared for
what feels like more than
moments
a ring envelopes us
but you are not mine
i am not yours
the dazzling sparkles
that light up ours eyes
are nothing more than a chance
soon to be
swept away
