You stepped from the shower
before me, unclean.
A myriad of thoughts race through our minds.
How did we fall away?
How do we save the time?

I cannot stand you this way,
standing in the way of where we stand.
Water is falling, vision is blurred.
Our patience of pride is washed away.

I'm not religious,
though i kneel to pray.
I'm distracted by the cumbersome depth in my way
And your better qualities show through with ease,
when i take you in from on my knees.
We're so far away.
Yet so close I can almost touch the feeling;
the rapture that once was.

Our moment is fast,
frozen inside.
And a resolution is filtered through our radial drive.
We come to an agreement,
As I swallow the why's.
We hold the moment,
long enough to dry our eyes.

And then you step into the shower,
while i lay my head.
Our requiem for love,
is left unsaid.
