To Love Another

She tilted down her head and brushed her hair aside And lifted up that holy gaze beneath her eyelids Her beating lashes were the witnesses That heard every single word she wouldn't say but I did And when her lips came back to touch after a smile She pressed them way to hard so they would reconcile Her colour darkened to a red of every blood of every dead That ever dare to love another To love another She pulled her head aside and when she brought it back I swear a little broken girl was in her body And as a prophecy when tripling down her cheek She said: 'Don't you think to fall is just a study' And when the star upon her lip was glued to mine All of the stars in all the skies had to align And then we both just disappear in every hope, in every fear Of what it means to love another To love another Another day was passing in her eyes I realize she never said 'I love you' in the morning But as I watch the sunset in her gaze There is a haze of night that doesn't want to be the warning And when she parts her lips to wet them with her tongue They bear the weight of every word of every song And I am left there in that chair without a clue, without a care Insisting I could love another I could love another Her eyes were searching in my soul I asked her what it is she saw She answered only with her silence But then she took a pen and drew an entire ocean made of glue And it is fallen words to island And through her lips I felt the beating of her heart I name the upperlip the end the lowerlip to start I said I never let them touch, I want to open them so much We'll never stop to love another To love another And through her lips I felt the beating of her heart I name the upperlip the end the lowerlip to start I said I never let them touch,I want to open them so much We'll never stop to love another We could love another --- To Love Another - אסף אבידן
