My True Bliss

What can one do

I tried very hard to hide from you

I told him to block me and forget me

Pizza was more important

He can't leave her because of dogs and family

So Ok then please let me be

Let me fly free

Today on the third day of 2023

He calls me at my workplace

Even with caller ID because I was so very busy

He found a way to connect with me

Wanted to know

If i wanted to go to San Francisco

All my team mates saw my face go whiter than a ghost

How can I deny the truth

So I say ok

No one knows what its like

Its Superman's kryptonite

I try to tell it to my colleague

The truth is so hard to believe

Then there he is physically standing in front of me

Everyone knows lil bit of the history

They wonder is someone stalking me

i try to explain to him in his car in his dark

He says I just missed you

He knows i was mad but I just had to call and ask

He met me at the Park street arcade

We played tetris and pacman like those last weeks were nothing

Then he drove to San Francisco to pay rent and something

Through the toll bridge and fog we go

On an unplanned road

To the edge of the city near ocean beach

There he takes me to a place of absent stars yet lit with beauty

He wraps me in his arms and I can't explain

The butterflies are still alive just like those little lights

Shining across the sea

Reminding me that hope is always alive

As we face the waves of white

Under a night of absent stars

Whether its wrong or right

I always want to be in his arms

I try to talk to him in the car

He doesnt want me to think of him as my stalker

He only wants to be my lover

He doesnt want any other

Nothing in life is perfect

but isn't stolen moments of bliss worth it

He says I didnt have to say yes

but how can I help it

The eclipse is in his kiss

The embers across the sea reminding me of my true bliss.
