stepping stone
Audrey Mayes
Hold me close
And hold me fast
Before the moment
Passes
Here's one second
And gone the next
Isn't this so exciting
So exciting
Summer nights on rooftops
With the city lights below us
It painted a glow on your skin
We'll meet up after midnight
And live a whole life before sunrise
I've never been loved in the daylight
When the sun comes up
And I'm all alone
I'm reminded I'm just a stepping stone
A stop on your journey to self-actualization
Without any hope for reciprocation
