Awaiting The Inevitable

Drawing meaning from the unexpected
A sign that cannot be denied
A portrait of our everlasting expressions
And the distance between us, side by side

Nearing the end of this long discussion
Still struggling for what more to say
A man of words trying to argue his point
With someone, who can afford to walk away

This conflict of interest
Of whether to act and indulge
Or risk waiting for the greater gain
That may never come

I'm always pushing my luck
For nothing is ever good enough
While you strive to protect
What you already have for nothing will ever be as good as it was

A look held too long, or maybe not long enough
In the perfect setting which complicates us
While we await the inevitable end
We enjoy the inevitable events

For everyday that passes we lessen the risk
For everyday that passes makes much more sense
While we await the inevitable end
We enjoy the inevitable events

And now, a new tension
This one of silence

A late morning gaze out of the window
From inside a cold apartment
We look out, we look away
Anywhere but at each other
