far from shore


you had a ring on your finger

still i couldn’t help but linger

and stare into your windswept eyes

repeating all our soft goodbyes

 

at work i’d watched you from afar

then one night at a local bar

our whole office in the tower

went to meet for happy hour

 

within a drink they all went home

and you and i were left alone

i walked you to your foreign car

and made a wish upon a star

 

you had somewhere you had to be

but said you often thought of me

i needed no more words then those

to kiss your lips of silken rose

 

but it was time to beat the clock

for a marriage that you now mocked

but my warm hands inside your cloak

and soft farewells that you still spoke

 

the magic of that moment weaved

memories that will never leave

but in that night is were they’ll stay

and while at work we earn our pay

although the feelings still persist

on longing shared we will subsist
