I Fade Into Distance

I fade into the half light as the memory flickers from your view. I was a passing tourist, nothing more. I wouldn't have known. It's only when you spent a day away, does your conscience remind you of something that wasn't there. I wasn't there to stake a claim, I wasn't there to remember your name. And you won't remember mine.

I fade into the twilight of the Parisian skies met through the countless steps of the Eiffel Tower. Maybe one of these days I will be without a face in your dreams? You felt guilt-ridden because you spent the day with another man. You tried to pass your guilt on to me. It confused me because it wasn't exactly the sort of thing I was expecting and I had no intention of falling in love with you. But another boy only causes trouble and somehow unintentionally I might have caused some. Even if I don't see how or why.

I fade into nothing but a blank distant memory for you. It's easier, safer and less complicated that way. I guess I should be happy for the memories but it's never going to be like that.

Distance kills time. You forget me and I forget to forget you. Did you feel to close to me then? Did I inadvertently fill the shoes of your boyfriend? You must've felt some guilt just flirting with another man who was not your boyfriend. All we did was talk, I had no other agenda on my mind. I would like to think you had no other agenda either.

I fade into the distance of your imagination. Where time had stopped and dreams had started. But now we wake up different people from the ones that went before. I'm alone now and I wonder about you but I guess I would have been stepping on your boyfriend's toes who you want to safeguard you.

Distance kills time. You must've been scared to fall in love while in love. A double edged sword that would kill the both of us. It happens all the time.
