JUST A TRYST

Every little bit of you

Every little bit I get

Is more than I have hoped for

In this entire life I've lived

Got used to getting by

Resolved myself to this

Didn't wish for something better

Didn't even think to wish

Though I prayed from time to time

I was like a little kid

Scrawling what I wanted

On my Christmas list

"Dear Jesus please just bring me

Love and happiness"

But I never thought anyone

Was listening to it

But life changed

And I got stronger

My heart grew

And wanted more

Got much better

At sorting out

What I was praying for

As my future came to focus

On what I wanted here

I put down my martyrdom

I laid down my cross to bare

But it was surely steam punk girl

Who taught me how to fly

Who opened up my heart again

And gave me reasons why

I should stand up for something

And shouldn't have to die

I saw it in her hope & woe

And in her tired eyes

Sooner or later -

We all must take a chance

Not just on carnal pleasures

Or necessities

But toward the thought of

"True Romance"

We just have to "make it happen"

Or we've but ourselves to blame

For the happiness we're lacking

IS ALL WE'RE HERE TO GAIN!

Sometimes things just come to you

From straight out of a dream

Sometimes things just come to you

From not doing anything

Sometimes things come to you

When you struggle through the pain

Sometimes things come to you

By standing in your way

But I KNOW what has come to me

I've seen it, struck by bliss

In a recollected moment

In an often thought of kiss

In the heart of someone solid

Whom I never want to miss

In these plans that I've been laying

For more than just a tryst
