Now That Your In Town

Now that your in town
He and she standing on a hill, hands gripped
a ferocious storm rolls on them
against all odds,huddle, hold, clinch and soothe

But it isn’t me, it isn't bad but
I cant survive in a clinch

In another turn, a man in a Porsche picks up his woman,
she hiding from the poverty of her youth
together they complete each other’s sentences 
a united front standing to the world

But no not me, it isn't wrong but no
I wish I could live in this tale, it makes me sway so sweet

He lowers himself into the icy sea to save her
and in turn she nurses his paralyzed body for an eternity
commitment true,devotion unbreakable
spirits united eternally

But It isn't me, it has value, and it isn't wrong
It would be noble to live here, but I can’t breathe

I live in the quantum with different principles
you really don't give me, I transfer
I don’t construct , I ignite
I don’t want sacrifices, martyrdom or good behavior-they dampen my dance
I live with truth
more in math than syrup

when the conditions are right I connect you with delight
I add more you, and you to me, forever, in a circle
nothing taken away
but something from nothing, you ask?
Yes, remember an atom can be at two places at once, 
but only when perceived.  

It adds in my universe  
You have to accept that you,can’t own me, hold me, change me 
and I cant change you, them or any facts.  
This is my software: not my choice.
you can ride with me for awhile as I delight in your person, 
and when you delight in me

you can touch the mystery and the sacredness…you can reflect truth like a diamond
No more, and of course, no less
