Glass Elevator Kiss

Thirty floors of ocean light,

Buttons glowing pearl and blue.

You said the view was beautiful,

I said I was watching you.

Cable hum and mirrored walls,

Heartbeat

counting every floor.

We were only going upward,

But I wanted something more.

The marina turned to jewelry,

The pool became a star.

You leaned close enough to ask me If the sky was always

this far.

Glass elevator kiss, Rising through the night like this.

Nothing hidden, nothing spoken,

Everything reflected in it.

Glass elevator kiss, Hold the floor and don't dismiss.

If the doors open on forever,

Let me stay inside this lift.

Someone laughed in the hallway,

Someone waited down below.

We were floating in a postcard With nowhere else to go.

Your hand found the golden rail,

Mine found courage in the chrome.

For a second by the skyline,

Every window felt like home.

The marina turned to jewelry,

The pool became a

star.

You leaned close enough to tell me

We had already gone too far.

Glass elevator kiss, Rising through the night like this.

Nothing hidden, nothing spoken,

Everything reflected in it.

Glass elevator kiss, Hold the floor and don't dismiss.

If the doors open on forever,

Let me stay inside this lift.

Up, up, no room for reason.

Up, up, no ground in sight.

If love is just a passing level,

Let it pass through us tonight.

Glass elevator kiss, Rising through the night like this.

Every secret turns to silver,

Every breath becomes a wish.

Glass elevator kiss, Hold the floor and don't dismiss.

If the doors open on forever,

Let me stay inside this lift.
