15,000 Feet Above Sea Level

I hover in the air. Scribble words I could never say to you on a folded up airplane napkin. Words I wanted to say so many times, but your face gets me tongue tied so I put them down on coward's lines. They upgraded me to first class when I would have gladly walked 1,000 miles home if it meant one more day with you. I curse the plane that drags me away, curse the obligations that won't let me stay. And I bless the times we're blessed to meet, and I bless the love thats beyond the sheets. I laugh when they tell me it's the mountains I'll miss, when I didn't even notice them beyond your face. And the altitude that they say leaves a man breathless, it's the same feeling I get when theres nothing but us. Tattoo your name across my heart, because thats the only place I'll ever want to keep you.
