Mystical Obsession

Just today I thought I saw you
standing with your back to me.
I called your name, but I got no answer.
Your image vanished like it was a dream.

Everytime that I've washed
myself clean of you
Just when I'm feeling good again
Your vision brings me to my knees
like some forgotten fool
Trapped by this mystical obsession

Can't go many places nowdays
that you and I haven't been before.
The pretty people, the work, the parties
I move so fast but I'm getting bored

Another place in time I was
swept away by your raging storm
without a care, without a question
Living for the moment
Blindly moving toward the edge
Trapped by this mystical obsession

Yes, it is hard to let go of someone when their essence lingers everywhere. Mystical obsession...aka love...
