Your long tan legs, your shiny brunette hair
Who was I to long for your lips on mine
And why would I dare think I had a prayer
But I looked in your eyes and saw a sign
.
You came for me with those emerald eyes
Your breath in my ear that said this is real
As you disarmed me with your breathless sighs
Your body quivers, betrays what you feel
.
Then in a moment your life comes undone
I reach with my arms but it’s all too new
I try to find words but feel I have none
As your pain unfolds I know I’ve lost you
.
And I, unnoticed , as Icarus found
Spiraled my way from the sun to the ground
