colin lost touch a long time ago

i watched it happen

he drifted   then drifted more   unmoored

is he letting this moment slip away

that construct   time

is not in his favor   lin is a restless woman

does she care enough to grab the painter   pull him in 

find safe harbor 

i thought this a match made in heaven

but when have i ever believed in heaven

then i see it   

the flaw in my thinking

not everyone is a romantic   

not everyone believes romance is the answer

~

lin looks at me   what now

he's there   he's waiting  i say

you have a one track mind   she says

yeah   i say   i'm a one trick pony
