Beach

Click. Time freezes in a second as my finger lay,

lay on the button of my camera, looking,

looking through a tiny box as He smiles back at me.

I can see him laughing as the day goes by,

time wasted, film wasted, we're wasted on this beach.

Sharing his knowing smile we walk. Away, we walk, away, away.

He grins and takes my hand, leading me to who knows where,

where we can see all of New York's fine lights shining,

shining down on us making sure we look like royalty.

I can see him laughing as the day goes by,

time wasted, film wasted, we're wasted on this beach.

Sharing his knowing smile we walk. Away, we walk, away, away.

Too soon for this night to end, no more hooking up with his friends,

friends who know what we're feeling right now, in love.

In love we meet, in love we part, in love we will Succeed.

I can see him laughing as the day goes by,

time wasted, film wasted, we're wasted on this beach.

Sharing his knowing smile we walk. Away, we walk, away, away.

Click. I hear the snap of the camera, as the shutters close,

closing up the day, leaving just the way we came,

came so close to having something - or was it nothing?
