Don't Let Me Reach Love Yet

Don't let me reach love yet
I want more reckless passion and quick regret
Why not comfort and a safe bet?
My heart pounds with the uncertainty of tomorrow
The chance of seeing her face in a crowd
She just lived around the corner
Had a bottle of Merlot and a life sized canvas
She had painted the skyline without the reality of man made destruction
I traced the clouds delicately and the memories came flooding back
They filled the room and I felt light on my feet
She's behind me
Red wine on our breath
"I'm leaving the city soon but..."
We never had that conversation
Unfinished sentence so fitting
Because I don't want to reach love yet
