He searched for those wings that he knew that this angel should have at her back, and although he can't find them he really don't mind because he knows they'll grow back. And he reached for that halo that he knows that she had when she first caught his eye. Although his hand came back empty he's really not worried because he knows it still shines. (I can't promise that I'll grow those wings or keep this tarnished halo shined but I'll never betray your trust Angel mine.) I search all the time on the ground for our shadows cast side by side. Just to remind me that I haven't gone crazy that you exist and are mine. And I know that your skin is as warm and as real as the smile in your eyes. But I have to keep touching and smelling And tasting for fear it's all lies. |
