I met you in a future-tense While I was on the run From all that binds me to the past What presently is numb I found you in my penmanship And set sail for the sun And swallowed down the alphabet To fuel my journey home And I'm still sailing on I met you in a passing glance That failed to recognize A truth that only time would tell Verses within eyes I kissed away the stoic stare That left you paralyzed To take on all that I could bare Flooding from your mind The sea I'm sailing on I met you in a waking dream Did you become the guide? In the night you take the helm And show me that you're wise Braving storms until they break Remaining pacified Steering me from siren shores And settling with the tide Keeps me sailing on
