Perfect for Nothing
I swear it was like magic
For a few simple days
I felt gone in a daze
Caught up by nothing but us
And when I most wanted
You walked in I could be, again
And for that time I was perfect
Perfect for absolutely nothing
And it felt good to be
Lost in countless glaze framed dazes
Of nothing but our days
Together and not for a few days
And I wouldn’t want it any other way
With simplicity it was simple to be
Just sit and be over and over and over
As I secretly count the minutes from start
As I prayed to God that time would freeze
While I slept close to you
And my days and nights would be still
And I’d be there still
And we’d be together still
Still I couldn’t pray hard enough
For minutes and seconds have their own god
And he never answers prayers by me
Because every time I’m there
They keep multiplying into the next day
Until I have to stop counting
And magic moments become so few
So I hope again that maybe my eyes won’t open
And then I wouldn’t have to leave
And I could be perfect for absolutely nothing again.
