In a restaurant by the sea

On a liquid afternoon

For a moment eyes collide

And the world's periphery



Now your pupils learn the sun

To reflect it brighter back

In a moment I'll come to

And retrieve a sip of wine

But for now, I drink you in



Inches separate our hands

When I move to close the gap

You won't clutch or draw away

As too many have before



For a moment eyes collide

And reality's the dream

With the wine wet on your lips

And a tear moist in my eye



In a restaurant by a sea

On a liquid afternoon



For a moment...
