And it never worked out as planned, because you wouldn't conform to any rules or expectations. When I tried to peer inside you, (looking through your eyes) all I could see was a mirror image of myself. If you had reversed this for just one moment -tossed me some morsel of yourself- I would have grabbed it, clutching at anything within reach. But I worked with the tools I was given, not knowing or caring where you were leading me. So often we were alone, crying out to each other- yet you wouldn't give in because you needed to prove to yourself that I loved you. There were many times I wanted to reach inside you in order to shake myself loose, but couldn't- because I believed your soul was trembling, vulnerable to all the pain of heartbreak. Whatever we had, whatever might have been- was yesterday, not today. Now I stand here thinking of the eyes that wouldn't let me in, remembering that I worked with the tools I was given; and I have no regrets. -- "OK guys. Blues riff in B.
