Turn Away
We were together on that bridge
but I couldn�t span the gap
I thought I offered friendship
you treated it like a trap
Uninvited, though not unwelcome
I insisted on invading your space
I tried to infect your thoughts
always leaving just a trace
I caught a glimpse of who you were
but I couldn�t make you stay
I caught a glimpse of those blue eyes
before you turned away
So much fearful anticipation
All just foreplay to a kiss
Years of wondering what if
never dreaming all of this
I thought you�d let me in
but flesh tells pretty lies
Still you push me out
when tears fill up your eyes
I caught a glimpse of who you were
but I couldn�t make you stay
I caught a glimpse of those blue eyes
before you turned away
I�m still looking for the sure thing
I�m still trying to find out how
I want a love that�s always
not just then or now
I want to be where you are
I want to make you stay
I want to know those blue eyes
will never turn away
