The space between us

​Trusting blindly, we made plans 
– wonders we would know,
simply wishing we could see our way
to make them so.
We would travel to the moon 
on a silver wing,
as we could accomplish anything.

Weightless are memories
free in the space between us now,
orbiting our dreams of endless bliss.
Weightless are memories
free in the space between us now,
joining in a long and tender kiss.

Half-forgotten words unsaid, 
phone calls never made,
Dust from all the scoreboards of the games
we never played,
Promises we never broke
fights we never had,
Nothing from a love that would go bad.

Weightless are memories
lost in the space between us now,
orbiting our dreams of endless bliss.
Weightless are memories
lost in the space between us now,
longing for the final, frozen kiss.

From the song cycle "Next yesterday" with music by Antti Nissilä
