That Night

Remember the snowy night in Detroit?
The night where time stopped
Sitting by the window staring at the falling flakes
We became lost in a gaze of something
Something neither of us could of explained

So many years have passed since
That night was more than a coincidence
As my soul continuously screams at my heart
To let you and shed light into the hollow dark

I lived so many lives after that night
All along you been a part of my life
Keeping you at a safe distance
Even as you try to assume your known role
Yet foolishly I remain steadfast

What started that night hasn’t ended
Yet my actions always seem to defend it
And I fear one day regret will ravage me
In my eyes sorrow is all anyone will see

Years upon years you’ve waited
As I’ve battled to keep you out
You always remained true to that night
Like the snow my cold doesn’t affect you
I am ever so grateful for that

I just wish I had the strength to love you
To admit the unexplained is simply truth
I let time waste away along with my soul
This fear --I can’t break from its control

Do you remember that snowy night in Detroit?
I do because it’s the first time I fell in love
It was the birth of life I have yet to live
And if I never take the chance to live it
I will never forget the night where time stopped.
