Three Inches of Heaven

"It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell. "
Buddha

We’ve stopped at this place, afraid to go any further

Not allowing sorrow to make an appearance

On the next page, the goodbye you hand-wrote

I cannot refuse

We’ve walked this path too hastily

To embrace is not what I’m am truly longing for

It’s too late, I could not wait anymore to look back and appreciate

The scent of magnolia cannot protect against wounds

Don’t look anymore at the sunlight peeking through the clouds

Don’t search anymore for the heaven we had decided upon

Don’t sigh anymore, you said it yourself that humans are transient

Unable to get three inches of daylight

We’ve stopped at this place, afraid to go any further

Not allowing sorrow to make an appearance

On the next page, the goodbye you hand-wrote

I cannot refuse

We’ve walked this path too hastily

To embrace is not what I’m am truly longing for

It’s too late, I could not wait anymore to look back and appreciate

The scent of magnolia cannot protect against wounds

Don’t look anymore at the sunlight peeking through the clouds

Don’t search anymore for the heaven we had decided upon

Don’t sigh anymore, you said it yourself that humans are transient

Unable to get three inches of daylight

Don’t look anymore at the sunlight peeking through the clouds

Don’t search anymore for the heaven we had decided upon

Don’t sigh anymore, you said it yourself that humans are transient

Unable to get three inches of daylight

That place where I loved you was heaven
