We have wings.

You,
And I,
We were standing,
Under the night sky
And we were mumbling
Talking to the road
Looking to the side
We were taken
By how everything was so quiet
The silence was amplifying
Thudding heart, rugged breathing
You looked and looked away
I did too
And then we caught each others  eyes
And held
The gaze

We had wings
We had to fly
You were going north
I had to go elsewhere
We had no time
But we held
That gaze
For a minute longer
And I kissed you
We embraced, closer
We melted
As our worlds collided

On that bridge
The cold night
Chilling my bones through
With you
In my arms
I knew
What I was leaving
What you will be missing
You knew
What I'll be needing
What you'll be leaving
It wasn't love
We didn't have time to fall
Cause we had wings
We were flying
And we never
Never looked back

You,
And I,
We were standing,
Under the night sky
And now we weren't
And the bridge was empty
It held a secret
A memory
The day would erase
The moon would bring back
Each night
It'll remember
And we won't
Because we have wings
And we've flown
With the wind in our faces
And a thrill in our heart
And your fire keeps me soaring
Tearing us apart
