Looking across the sky, I feel tears form and I let them fall from my eyes,
getting my mind ready to circumnavigate another new day of life
knowing you will never, ever be mine.

I drag my heels across the concrete on a crude Autumn day,
day dreaming about a Summer breeze, carrying my bones over Ocean waves. In my head — I throw myself across the Universe and land right by your side, foolishly, still hoping you will save room for me in between your arms
on one of these long nights, perhaps I’ll have to wait until next lifetime

remember our last kiss felt like our first time
but in between we just lost sight,
remember our worst times always followed our best times
but in between we just held onto the lie

Our eyes pointed towards our zenith
piercing the space like searchlights,
throwing stupid promises into the sky
knowing they were already broken lies,
being absolute never suited you and I.
Our stories aren’t over, still entwined —
but I know you will never, ever be mine
