Opus Seraphim

(hmmmmm) I think you're fascinating,

But I don’t let it show.

Do you ever feel the distance

Growing wider as we go?

Just this once… Just this moment… No,

I'm not in love at all.

I'm not in love—

I'm only thinking of you.

I wish that I could reach you— If this was a page

we’d turn,

We would leave the edges folded

For the words we couldn’t say.

Your smile disappears too quickly,

Before I know it’s gone.

Every step toward forever

Feels like walking back again.

If this moment was a question,

Would you answer honestly?

If this moment could go on,

I’d never ask for more.

If this moment was the ending,

Would you ask me not to

stop?

Just this once… Just this moment… No,

I'm not in love at all.

I'm not in love—

I'm only thinking of you.

I don’t have to speak to know— The silence answers first.

There’s nothing left to say

Before the morning comes.

I’ll disappear

this time.
