I watched her grow like a flower
A petal floating in the wind
I stood a silent observer
To the loss of time
I don't think she could see me
I was just a fading image
-
In the dark abyss of unrequited love
Only fate remained, time telling a story
The ending unknown, the last page unread
A million possibilities, just out of reach
-
I waited for her to see me
Before time was lost
A breeze blew silent
Through
The corners of my soul
Telling me the chance
Was already gone
-
I stood a passing reminder
To things left unsaid
Looking out beyond this place
I watched her in the distance
A silhouette dancing
In the moonlight
I longed for her, knowing
She would always be just
Out of reach
-
A tear ran cold from my cheek
As the tide of my breaking heart
Crashed against the shore of my soul
A lonely goodbye to a misplaced hello
-
I confessed love in words, I gave
To the air stretching out between us
In the dark blue of the Night
Layed out across the horizon
I don't think she could hear me
I was just a vanishing silence
-
I turned from her knowing
I was forgotten
Before I was remembered
I passed from her cinema screen
A single burned frame of film, unseen
A flickering of flame, extinguished
Still, in the briefest illusion, I shared with her
A life unknown, forever undiscovered
A shadow lost in the moonlight
A petal floating in the wind

Top Gun: The Lost Pilot
Who doesn’t want to be Maverick? In Tony Scott’s Top Gun Pete Mitchell was the epitome of the glorious warrior, as skilled as he was wild. Who doesn’t want to question authority, live beyond the rules, fly too close to the Sun? That’s the catch of course: Maverick is also Icarus, Maverick is Achilles, the hero felled by his own flaw — though it’s his best friend, Goose, who falls from the sky. Cruise, it’s worth noting, has wondered whether a contemporary studio would tolerate Goose’s death, if the movie were made today. “Can you imagine? Today, you’d have a hard time killing Goose,” he has said. “There would be a lot of discussion about killing Goose. You’d go to test screenings, and they would tell us, ‘They hate it when Goose dies! He’s such a likeable character! You’ve got to cut that out of the movie.’”
