airports

Sitting in an airport 
where loves come and go 
where family values are subject to flight scheduales 
where words are more than sounds 
and when goodbye can mean an eternity


here, i watch
taking off and landing go so smoothly 
but what if they didn't 
would you know how much you mean to me? 


if i crashed into the sea 
would you know that my dying thought
was in your memory? 


how a second will bring us an eternity...
we will never know 
but when the world is so small 
that men can orbit the world in eighty days 
every second matters 


when i am next to you 
the world is lying in my hands 
my orb of loveliness 
i will not let you fade away.
