At the night fare
Two days after we first met
Remember
When we saw a shooting star
You opened your arms
And asked me to jump aboard
The rollercoaster
Did you see the fear in my eyes
(I fear the ups more than the downs)
While for you
It was the other way around
Your ideal vision
Was of plain sailing
With a fair ocean breeze
Behind our backs
But my love
Don’t you know enough by now
For love is a roller coaster
Both of our hearts
Had known great depths
Enormous voids
And aching emptiness
And it was too much to ask
That this new ride
We embarked upon
Would not summon up old ghosts
For the heart and soul
That has been sunk by loss
Is so very far
From bullet proof
Upward movements are accompanied always
By downward swings
Following thoughts of dread
As fear reminds our souls
Of what can be stolen
If we risk jumping on board
That ride
And fighting the highs and lows
Is all self defence
Anyway
Keeping everything shallow
For nothing is ever sure
In this dance of love
So never forget
My love
That this kind of ride
Is always
A rollercoaster
And how much courage
We need
To brave that ride
