Self Centered Moonlight

And on this night, it is just me and you
Our two minds collapsing upon the night
The darkness falls, but the moon is our friend.
I can see the moonlight sparkle off your eyes
I can't stand to look at you any longer,
Knowing that the night is soon to end
Sure, we can talk until no end
But the sun will rise, and the moon will fade
But will the glimmer of the moon fade in your eyes?
For it is the smell of aged lifetimes that can break the heart
The heart and the romance to even the closest of soul mates
And if we are to be together
Fate will find a way.
Our minds can only converse so much - but we have no control
No control of the days that lay ahead.
So I sit in my room with this pen and pad
Trying to make blueprints of us.
Not yet understanding that our lives are predetermined from the start.
Be are we predestined?
Maybe it was just now that I realized I don't hold the keys to the future
And I have no way of opening the doors that are to be opened.
I have to wait my turn, hope the card deck of life deals me up to you.
To see if things go as I plan..
If they do not - I must have faith
That something far better is lying ahead - in store for me.
