Arms were spread wide,
On a voyage, never to return,
Tears washed her pillow, many nights before,
Some days, higher than the skies that cry hurt.
.
I've only wanted a moment of your time,
But you stole my heart when you gave me your smile,
Sinking into the depths of ice and cold,
That was the last memory I could recall;
That's all I can remember;
That's all that I know.
.
If I'd have known that loving you would be the end of me,
I'd make you hate me, just to get to look at you for just a little while longer.
Just a little while longer and you'd take my breath away anyway.
This journey was never meant to last,
I froze when you asked...
I want you to draw me, like one of your French girls.
.
My once steady fingers couldn't keep their calm, for they were caressing the wrong canvas... The wrong surface... The wrong skin...
I was an artist...
But my muse left me blocked.
.
I couldn't keep myself from loving you.
But, when I lost myself, it felt natural.
.
My Rose,
Though even Titanic couldn't drown my feelings for you.
My name was Jack.
I guess that's why I couldn't have you...
.
