One Perfect Day

Running for the bus as it's driving away  
You stopped the driver, began my perfect day  
 
Floored by a strangers face and inviting smile  
I came undone in less than a mile  
 
Our conversation flowed with beautiful ease  
My army defeated and down on their knees  
 
As we approach the station there is fear in my heart  
The end of the road is here, the moment we part  
 
We both step off the bus in perfect time  
I attempt to disguise my unraveling mind  
 
Every fibre of my being wants to ask you to stay  
I save my courage for another day  
 
As I walk away my heart threatens attack  
You reach out for my arm and gently pull me back  
 
Be mine for this day? forget these feelings are strange  
Tomorrow we return to our lives and nothing will change  
 
I think of that day as I am nearing my last  
More than the days of the thirty years passed
 
How can one day remain locked inside?  
Still longing for all the nights we denied  
 
The end lingers close and softly whispers I die tomorrow  
Nothing can take back the day you saved me from sorrow
