The Fast Goodbye

Would you care to see
The dream without the dreamer
A partnerless realm?

I grow excited
Every time I sense you near
Know this is by choice

Not a conscious choice
To you I will grant this point
But choice nonetheless

One I would not change
Unless it is set at odds
With my foundation

I will not pursue
A woman who is married
To another man

Not here or elsewhere
I always recognize you
I have always come

Imagine the day
When I recognize and leave
For cold diamond's sake

To avoid this end
Where this day lasts forever
I'll try it just once
