Birds of Paradise
Imagining you
Takes all of my powers.
It's all I can do
For hours and hours.
Inventing amusing phrases only you would say,
We have conversations every day that way.
Imagining you
In new situations.
We have our first fight
What sweet complications.
My life is in black and white compared to what I see,
Imagining you in love with me.
Time just forgets to exist,
And it lets me spend light years alone with you, meeting your gaze.
I'm too far gone to resist
If it's crazy to think that somehow I could win you,
I'm crazy enough to continue
Imagining you
Without your permission.
I conjure you up,
Just like a magician.
I whisper your name, and you appear at my command,
Except that it's nothing more than sleight of hand.
Imagining you
Your face when you're sleeping.
The places you go,
The secrets you're keeping.
As though I'd been locked away and left without a key
I have to make do till I can get free
Imagining you in love with me.
