Three years of a life wasted from yet another br Angle.When I first saw you br Your stunning silence, br The way you came, the way br You went between the candlelight br You had me captivated. br I had to know you more deeply. br br I became charmed by your first br Hello, the way you brushed the hair from br Your eyes. Your voice. Your whispers br Entangled. Enchanted. Ensnared. br br I made scenarios, maybes ifs and so on- br That's foolishness to me br Now. I recognize the impossibility of you br Of me. Yes, it took me br Awhile. Now, my dear I would just as soon not br See you. Walk blindly by. Acknowledge it all br Just another temptation. A flirt with happiness br Life has no meaning no hope. I must not press, br It will destroy me in a sad and crazy death, br br Perhaps. When you leave Minneapolis, or I, someday, br Your name will always be written for me br On the lakes.
