1 - Helplessly hoping her harlequin hovers nearby, 
                                                        awaiting a word.
2 - Gasping at glimpses of gentle true spirit he runs, 
                                                    wishing he could fly
Only to trip at the sound of good-bye.

3 - Wordlessly watching he waits by the window and wonders
                                                           at the empty place inside.
4 - Heartlessly helping himself to her bad dreams he worries,
                                                            did he hear a good-bye ? 
Or even hello ?

They are one person, they are two alone,
They are three together, they are for each other.

5 - Stand by the stairway, you'll see something certain to tell you
                                                                     confusion has its cost.
6 - Love isn't lying, it's loose in a lady who lingers,
                                                   saying she is lost,
And choking on hello.
