CharFutur - Your Gaze On Mine

The city is sleeping.
The world is so still.
The wind whispers softly
Against the cold steel.
I watch as you're breathing,
So calm in the light
Of the pale moon
That guides us
Right through the deep night.
I reach out to hold you,
To keep you from cold.
A beautiful story
That never grows old.
But time
Is a river
That runs to
The sea.
I wonder how long
You'll be staying with me.
With your gaze on mine,
The universe slows.
A sweet, tender warmth
That steadily grows.
But behind your bright eyes,
There's a quiet goodbye.
Like a star fading out
In a wintertime sky.
Oh, your gaze on mine,
So lovely and deep—
It's the one final promise I'm making
To keep.
When winter's coming,
The colors will fade
Into the promises
That we once made.
Your hand in my hand feels so warm and so real.
Yet, there is a sadness we both can just feel.
I try to hold on to this moment we share
As your soft, golden hair
Brushes over the end.
But nothing can stop
What is destined to fall,
Like the autumn leaves clearing
The garden and wall.
With your gaze on mine,
The universe slows.
A sweet, tender warmth
That steadily grows.
But behind your bright eyes,
There's a quiet goodbye.
Like a star fading out
In a wintertime sky.
Oh, your gaze on mine,
So lovely and deep,
Is the one final promise I'm making
To keep.
So, don't close your eyes yet.
Just look at me now.
Let's hold back the dawn,
If we only knew how.
Just your gaze on mine—
One last time.
