There She Goes

How do you think beyond a kiss?
You grabbed my shy collar
And kissed me in the car,
Minutes away from inevitable separation.

How do you think beyond silence?
We sat there knowing
There was no turning back,
Luck and flights wait for none.

How do you think beyond a past?
A past that never happened,
A past filled with the possibility,
Of spilling into a probable tomorrow?

How do you think beyond a glass pane?
That great divide, two degrees of separation,
As these wings spread,
The air holds me down.

How do I think beyond you?
Beyond your sweet confusion,
Of my permanency and promises,
You saw them in my eyes.

How do you move on anyway?
Continents of difference,
Should help time move faster,
Wounds drying up in the wind.
