8-15-2012 Grief
As I watch a star fall
You lean in close.
I make a wish
For the impossible.
Your smile so coy
Your lips a tease.
I'm just a boy
You'll do as you please.
You watch my star fall
And steal my one wish.
You laugh aloud
And look at me.
Am I not the one
Who will take your hand?
Will we watch the sun
Disappear beyond the land?
I'll swear to you
A heart that's confused.
I'll remain true
If you're not amused.
With a heart of holes
I'll give all I can.
With a soul damaged from time
I'll forgive everything I can.
The thoughts I have
Aren't always pure.
We will carry on,
Until our lives are gone.
Reach out with me
And touch the sun.
I'll hold you
Past heavens gates.
We'll dance through
Defying our fates.
In the end
It's about us.
In the end
It's about you.
It's always been about you.
Always for you.
This one is for you.
This is for the fallen star.
For the stolen wish.
For never grasping your kiss...
