Ten inches away

He was that close to life

Look at her smile, ten inches away from me,

Her face inside her rectangular frame, sweet and sadly

 

Pebbles inside a glass jar, thin wooden stick,

Picture frame, simple, elegant and hand-made

Ever-smiling at me, while my clocks start to tick,

Night comes to day so forth, but her smile never fades

 

Hair covered her precious eyes, jet black hair

Eyes that say I love you, words wash away every nightmare

Cheeks soft as clouds, let me feel them warm

Hold my soul as tight as ever with your arm

 

A smile so sweet, happy and hides her sadness,

Think of her, only her, just her, maybe this is madness

She's just ten inches away from me

Anyone, please wake me up to reality

 

Oh, I've kissed that forehead, I've kissed those eyes,

I miss those kisses, love, there's no goodbyes

I've felt her love me, move me to another place

Like dreams where all I ever see is her face

 

Tell me she'd stay forever in her smile,

I'll breath in your life and I'll stay for a while

Then breath out yours and give me air,

I'll be honest, I will be the best, I will be fair

 

Golden you make the world to me

Ever as simple our complicated lives could be

Oh, yes, I'll make you mine, a dream in a dream,

Because dreams last forever, no matter how short they seem

 

Sing to me, speak softly in my ear,

Kiss my frozen lips and hold me dear

Dont let me die now, not now, eliminate goodbyes,

Ten inches away, in a world full of sad lies,

All he ever saw was her begging eyes
