rubicon gone

i daydream about you  
it's all that i do now  
always some serendipitous scene  
you're in distress  
and i always come to your aid  
  
we always fall in love  
   
there was a moment when i knew you  
when we looked at each other  
that i might have said more  
i might have smiled  
   
but i did nothing  
i could not cross that boundary  
i couldn't tell you how i felt
   
and now you're gone  
living your life somewhere in this city  
   
and i live right here    
   
fixing your bicycle  
fending off assailants  
holding umbrellas for you in the rain  
   
   
it's all that i do now
