To Love Another

She tilted down her head, and brushed her hair aside
And lifted up that holy gaze beneath her eyelids
Her beating lashes were the witnesses that heard
Every single word she wouldn't say, but I did

And when her lips came back to touch after a smile
She pressed them way too hard, so they would reconcile

Their color darkened to a red
Of every blood of every dead
That ever dared to love another
To love another

She pulled her head aside, and when she brought it back
I swear a little broken girl was in her body
And as a prophecy went trickling down her cheek
She said, "Don't you think to fall is just to study?"

And when the scar upon her lip was glued to mine
All of the stars in all the skies had to align

And then we both just disappeared
In every hope and every fear
Of what it means to love another
To love another

Another day was passing in her eyes I realised
She never said "I love you" in the morning
But as I watch the sunset in her gaze there is a haze
Of night that doesn't want to heed the warning

And when she parts her lips to wet them with her tongue
They bear the weight of every word of every song

And I am left there in that chair
Without a clue, without a care
Insisting I can love another
I can love another

Her eyes were searching in my soul, I asked her what it is she saw
She answered only with her silence
But then she took a pen and drew an entire ocean made of blue
And in it, falling, were two islands

And through her lips I felt the beating of her heart
I named the upper lip "The End", the lower lip "The Start"

I said I'll never let them touch
I want to open them so much
We'll never stop to love another
To love another
