Present Tense
SHE WAS THINKING ABOUT THE FUTURE
HE WAS LIVING IN THE PAST
AND IT WASN'T YET APPARENT
HOW LONG THEIR LOVE WOULD LAST
BUT THEY DIDN'T TALK ABOUT IT
WITH PASSIONS SO INTENSE
AS THEY SHARED EACH OTHER'S ENERGY
AND KEPT IT PRESENT TENSE
THEIR DESIRES COINCIDED
UNAFRAID OF GOING FAST
SPEEDING TOWARDS WHATEVER
THEY FELT WOULD MAKE IT LAST
IT WAS ALL ABOUT THEIR CHOICES
HOW THEY MADE EACH OTHER FEEL
WHILE TRYING TO IMPROVE UPON
THEIR CONCEPTS OF IDEAL
POSSIBLY IMPROVE UPON
SOMETHING MORE THAN REAL
THEN ONE DAY SHE ASKED HIM
MY DEAR IS SOMETHING WRONG
IT SEEMS THERE ARE CONDITIONS
WHERE YOU THINK I DON'T BELONG
HE PAUSED TO PONDER WHAT SHE SAID
HE LOVED HER COMPANY
AND SAID I'LL GET BACK TO YOU
IN A THOUGHTFUL REPARTEE
IS IT BOUND TO HAPPEN
REPITIONS SETTLES IN
AND SLOWS THE FLOW OF LAVA
THAT SCORCHES WHERE THEY'D BEEN
THEIR PASSIONS COOLED AND HARDENED
TILL THEY REALLY COULDN'T TELL
IF THEIR JOURNEY LED TO HEAVEN
OR WAS JUST A STEP FROM HELL
OH SO CLOSE TO HEAVEN
YET NOT TOO FAR FROM HELL
THAT WHICH IS DESIRED
SOON LOSES IT'S APPEAL
FOR ONCE IT IS POSSESSED
SEEMS A LITTLE LESS IDEAL
NEVER EVER SATISFIED
ETERNAL WRINKLED BROW
WANTING WHERE AND WHEN
WHILE THEY HAD THE HERE AND NOW
WANTING WHERE AND WHEN
WHILE THEY HAD THE HERE AND NOW
