MOMENTS - HOME             Elsa - In that Moment

In that moment
     two paths
   our eyes meet
          you in a car
          me in the street

do we let the moment pass
   or do we somehow
          somehow somehow
               meet

 

For a moment, a minute
     two paths

In one
     we let the moment pass
In one
     we somehow
          somehow somehow
               meet

 

I let the moment pass
     break the look
     walk on
          as if it hadn’t happened
     I don’t look back
          except . . .
          except . . .
               I am looking back
          except . . .
               the moment
                  has stayed in me
                     frozen in time

 

Back in that moment
I break the look
walk on
The light changes
I see your car slowly slowly slowly
                          drive past

 

Two lifelines
   no going back
          in time

For a minute
     a lifeline
         
I freeze, say no

No turning back
No turning back time
   no going back
     to that moment

which might have . . .
          led nowhere

almost certainly it would have . . .
          led nowhere

But who knows?

What I know . . .

I froze
    closed down the chance 

No turning back
