Things we are not

Things we are not

 

 

I never knew what life could be,

I never knew what a star could show me in the moonlight of my life...

 

(20 count)

 

NOW count what we have in our life.

Ask not what the next one can do for you,

but what we could do for the others.

(OK I took poetic license from JFK).

 

Sit here with me and ask what you see in your heart,

is it…what you really wanted out of life?

 

Take my hand and let’s shoot to the stars,

the stars,

stars.

 

Oh… let’s take a comet by the tail,

and run with our heart beats.

 

Your eyes…

moon dust on a full moon.

 

Smiles…

count what others can’t feel.

 

My heart beat…

I hand it to you,

place it in yours and feel what I feel.

 

Take the comet by the tail and let it take us,

to the end of the universe,

and beyond.

 

Feel my love in the shadows of,

things never seen.

 

Was it so wrong,

or felt so dirty?

 

Could your heart beat with mine?

Could you feel my smile?

 

What of life lost in the comets tail?

Or is it bigger than we are?

 

Could your dreams be better than our hearts on a comets tail,

shooting to the edge of the universe.

 

OR IS THIS,

just the beginning?

I am sorry to hear that.I have no words to make you feel better or lay any claim to understanding your pain and grief.I am just sorry.

You have nothing to be sorry for Vidya. You are and always will be one of my closest friends.
