The Meaning Of What's Missing

There are images in my head

Things most boys don’t or won’t admit they dream of

But, here I am

In the most perfect of days

Dreaming away the time

Until it passes and you paint your love in my eyes

And, you draw me into yours



My father once gave me his wisdom

The kind most sons hear then quickly forget

He told me a tale of his own love

My mother in a beautiful dress

And, of the wisdom his own father gave him

“In love, you give what you get

So, give ‘til you’ve got nothing left”



Space between lines

It’s sometimes hard to decipher the meaning of

But, when two fall in love

And, the two lines become one

Time, and place, and space, and hurt all dissolve

And eyes, and hearts, and lips, and veins

Solve the meaning of what was missing



And, now those images that were in my head

Have become the life my eyes now take in

And, now here you are

And, so I am finally gaining the wisdom

My father’s father once gave him

And, so I will give every bit of myself

Just to taste the love on your lips
