A Face in the Crowd

Another place, Another Time

---

We were strangers,

But I could see,

Your eyes told a story,

Known only to me.

*

A tale of loss,

Of highs and lows,

A tale that led here,

The path that we chose.

*

Just a face in the crowd,

Letting the music flow,

Too far to touch,

Too close to let go.

*

In another life, perhaps,

We danced until dawn,

Not this time, my love,

The lines have been redrawn.

*

There’s a world out there,

Where we met sooner,

We took a trip to Paris,

But that’s just a rumor.

*

Over there, we didn’t suffer,

Didn’t go through all that pain,

You would’ve been my everything,

But we both missed that train.

*

The music gets low,

The show is at an end,

Crowd parting like the sea,

For a moment, I’ll pretend.

*

I take one last look,

Before you fade from sight,

Peeking behind the curtain,

A story I wish I could write.
