I SAW YOUR FACE Staring down at me from a window across the street You were there and then you disappeared As if you vanished in thin air I wondered if it was all a dream I closed my eyes and opened them again I stared at the place you should have been I wondered if it all really happened I walked around my town thinking about you I thought that ghosts were disfigured and warped but you were as pretty and as perfect as a rose The next night I woke at 3:15 to find you sitting in your window Your desperate eyes called me and I was helplessly lost in your gaze, lost in way that you stared I found myself waking up at night obsessing with catching a glimpse of the way you glide The sadness in your eyes was like an eclipse of the sun, like a dark cloud choking out the sunlight Every night it was the same, I would wake up at 3:15 To find you beckoning me with those silver dollar eyes I wanted to steal them and keep them by my bedside I fell in love with the nights we shared But with every night I grew more and more aware Of the space between us and the tension in the air As I feel deeper into the depths of this love affair
