One Mystery Short (Of An Enigma)

We talked like dreams in mid-July

Your smile said stay, your eyes said goodbye

You showed up late

then left too soon

Like a love song out of tune

I waited twice, you disappeared

Like smoke that whispers in my ear

You're sweet and strange

but never clear

And I’m still standing here

You're one mystery short of an enigma

A heartbeat lost in a foggy stigma

I can’t tell if you care or you don’t

If you will or you won’t

But I will still be hoping

You talk in codes and half goodbyes

Trace your feelings in the sky

One day warm, the next you hide

And leave me asking why

You're one mystery short of an enigma

Like a half-solved line in a faded stigma

I can’t tell if you care or you don’t

If you will or you won’t

But I will still be hoping

Maybe time will say it best

Maybe silence knows the rest

Maybe you’re just passing by

And I’m the one who stayed too high

You're one mystery short of an enigma

I can’t tell if you care or you don’t

If you will or you won’t

And maybe I’m the fool who fell

But I will still be hoping
