you were my first love
now you're in africa
under the same stars

gravity binds us above

i am mythology

learning my lessons through time
cursed with eternity
counting to forty-nine


god could not erase
this never-ending chase


fate put faith in you and me
sans a silver lining

every opportunity
always lost on timing


all my love sits poised to be within you
paused in a state of to be continued


i forget yesterday
but your scent's a time machine
now you're in africa

our chance remains to be seen
