To Love Another

She tilted down her head and brushed her hair aside

And lifted up that holy gaze beneath her eyelids

Her beating lashes were the witnesses

That heard every single word she wouldn't say but I did

And when her lips came back to touch after a smile

She pressed them way too hard so they would reconcile

Her color darkened to a red of every blood of every dead

That ever dare to love another, to love another

She pulled her head aside and when she brought it back

I swear a little broken girl was in her body

And as a prophecy when trickling down her cheek

She said: 'Don't you think to fall is just a study'

And when the star upon her lip was glued to mine

All of the stars in all the skies had to align

And then we both just disappear in every hope, in every fear

Of what it means to love another, to love another

Another day was passing in her eyes

I realize she never said 'I love you' in the morning

But as I watch the sunset in her gaze, there is a haze

of night that doesn't want to be the warning

And when she parts her lips to wet them with her tongue

They bear the weight of every word of every song

And I am left there in that chair without a clue, without a care

Insisting I could love another, I could love another

Her eyes were searching in my soul, I asked her what it is she saw

She answered only with her silence

But then she took a pen and drew an entire ocean made of glue

And it is fallen words to island

And through her lips I felt the beating of her heart

I name the upper lip the end, the lower lip to start

I said I'll never let them touch, I wanna open them so much

We'll never stop to love another, to love another

And through her lips I felt the beating of her heart

I name the upper lip the end, the lower lip to start

I said I'll never let them touch, I wanna open them so much

We'll never stop to love another, to love another
