Paper Hearts

The pencil traces upon the deep lines of our hearts
Those eyes touch places quite unintentionally
You lean closer, you pause, staring deeply
My mind wanders to places held too close
By chance our lips glance so briefly
Unsaying those questions to let go
That touch so light, so near to me
Leaning back street lights flicker
People pass by so quickly
Night fades and drifts away
No longer are we here
Wherever that was
We left it all

Into us we steal those precious moments
Dancing upon the evening of our souls
