ON THE WINGS OF TIME

All I know, is every where I go 
You are always on my mind 
It's kinda weird to share 
I am sure most people will not understand 
You're living your teenage years 
And I, well I am a grown man 

You were not in my scope of things 
Neither was I out there 
Looking for a fling 
But, when our eyes collided... it was like magic 
And something happened inside 
Something that would change our lives 

I thought to myself..
This cannot be happening.. it's not right 
Society would punish me for what my heart feels 
But this was not lust.. neither was it a rush
It was love in its purest form 
So surreal

As you said to me with such sincerity 
You heard music in your soul
And your heart began to dance
When you say my smile
But O, you are still a child 

It breaks my heart to say 
I will be committing an injustice 
And leading you astray 
To allow this fascination to go the way 
We both feel.. this minute, this hour, this day 

So I will walk away 
Leaving my heart behind 
At least you will have that to cling to 
Until your teenage crush is unraveled 
And your healing flys on the wings of time.
