when...

when sound comes through like thunder you stop...
            you listen.
she says "it reminds me of a movie"

i listen now and i think she's right. when all you have is sound to guide you...
            you listen.
she asks "how did it make you feel?"

i think about it now and i wasn't honest. when a cautious heart has led you stray...
            you listen.

                                  the ground is swelling around us. i picture you there. you. this lovely being without a care. such a free spirit ready to go at any moment. the mountains can't keep you here. no one holds your hand... we free fall through white clouds and you turn to me and say "i'm glad we met"

         i bring you close and say "it was important that we did"
