gordian casanova





thought i heard you say something yeah
when i turned my face and tried to shy
did i see a triumphant glint from the corner of my eye,
in your eye ?

now that fear is out
and i've nowhere to go
are you upbeat about the fact that
i've nothing left to show...

after you've stripped me of all my cover...
leaving my feelings out in the biting cold
what can i do if i cannot help but admit
that you're bold..

if i'm in awe, and you're in heaven
the seventh one of all those above
if i'm stuck in wonder, you're stuck in repletion
why isn't this - falling in love ?

taking a few steps back
in the road of my memory that retains your seclusion
i can recollect words which you twisted
cleverly into my conclusion

claiming every bit of peace
that rested in my silent mind
you ran, stealing every thought of order
so intriguing, no matter how unkind

so, my dear gordian casanova
here's a request i've to make to you
don't stop troubling the reasons of my living
come closer, and give me a clue..
