A question rolls throughout my mind a thousand times a day,
The answer is not easy when emotions come into play,
In my thoughts they toss and turn and I hear myself say,
The fear of the unknown is oft the hardest to allay.

I met a girl on holiday, a breath of air to me,
She glides inside my head like an image I can’t see,
She makes me feel like I’m alive so very constantly,
But then again such short romance, it’s not reality.

So I go back to where we met to see her face once more,
We have the most fun weekend that I have ever had before,
We eat and drink and dance and laugh and end up at her door,
We make sweet love throughout the night, this girl I now adore.

We talk about me going there to be to be with her for real,
She tells me that she’d like that but that this is a big deal,
A life I’ve made all for myself it’s not for her to steal,
But I see it through different eyes, for the way she makes me feel.

I’ll pack my bags and quit my job and find one in her place,
At least that way I tell myself I’ll get to see her face,
To move away for such reasons, it’s hardly a disgrace,
We must make hard decisions when our dreams we’re forced to chase.

I came back to her once again, but sensed she didn’t care,
We acted much in the same way but there was a difference in her stare,
I felt perturbed but pushed aside the insecurity that was there,
For once again I told myself this girl is very rare.

So I've returned to my home place to tie up some loose ends,
And whether I go back to her on many things depends,
Like if she sought a short charade, or truly a boyfriend,
For if I make this giant step I need to comprehend.

So questions now are on my mind that make me feel inept,
I feel one way so close to her as off my feet I’m swept,
My life can change for good or bad it’s something I accept,
But in the funny game of love and lust I’m not so well adept.

And so this is a complex tale, a tale of her and me,
Two people on two different paths separated by the sea,
Unless one works to change the dream into reality,
It seems they will forever, not together be!
