Elucidating Questions

I love you now and in the past, accidentally looking back.

I spot your face in a crowd that isn’t a crowd, but still.

The mind that can’t remember any face remembers.

Profoundly unfortunate, but it’s true all the same.

The person who burns with the thought every day.

Somewhere you are, I never know whether it’s close or far.

Will you run away? It’s hard to say what could happen, it’s hard to say what the feeling will be if I walk away again.

So close, so far, it isn’t the moments I’m dreaming and thinking of you,

It’s the moments I’m not and you wander in anyways.

I see you everywhere, in everything,

The oceans, the sky, the streets, the people.

If I could see you in the night sky, if I could find your star at night,

I would sing to it every time,

The stars shine.
