Conquistador.

Thinking about last night.

Thinking about evening

When everything was bright.

You know, it wasn't chance,

Not quite

That placed our bench under a patch of twilight.

Learning things about you

I never would have guessed

Deciding that you've got to be the best one

Of the best.

We could sail past the trees, you know,

Into our favorite sky

How perfect it all was

As we looked over the crest

Here you came upon my call

Yeah, I never would have guessed

Everything

That happened

So fast.

On your knees in seconds

Terror seized your heart

After all this, still desperate

That it wouldn't fall apart.

And it's in these moments

That I see the depths of you.

Crying out.

Holding tight.

In disbelief.

Voice breaking.

Eyes staring.

Over and over.

Explaining.

It's a wrench in my chest.

These words have begun to blur.
