alone with you

it’s been so long since i saw you
that I fear you may
fade from my memory.
i wonder, is the same for you or
did you already forget me?
i still remember everything you said to me when i last spoke with you.
sometimes i see people who have
eyes as clear and bright
as any sky could be,
but they’ll never compare to your
piercing gaze
those orbs
of crystalline green.
do you still mistake other girls for me, in hopes that you’ll see me again?
i dream, i dream of we two, we two
i hope, i hope it comes true and soon
all i, all i can wish for, wish for
is to, is to be alone with you once more
once more
i dream, i dream of we two, we two
i hope, i hope it comes true and soon
all i, all i can wish for, wish for
is to, is to be alone with you once more
i remember one day you laced your fingers through mine,
it made my heart race.
but now that the past is all i have,
it only makes this bleeding stone break
i told you twice already, dear,
i just want to be alone with you.
yes, i’ll tell you for the last time,
i just want to be
alone with you

friendly giant by my window
blowing dreams into my room
whenever i’m asleep
could you make one if i asked you?
could you help me turn that dream
into reality?
you and i and me and you
and nothing in between
every time you leave the earth quakes
telling me that where i am is not
where i should be
even if you stayed, i wonder,
way up there can i see you?
down here, can you see me?
you and i and me and you
and nothing in between
you and i together,
me and you forever,
that’s the way it should be

the morning light
is creeping in
soft hues of blue
gold, white, and pink
a sudden sound
a nightingale
begins to sing
the blanket shifts
you’re smiling as you sleep
the time ticks by
an arm around my waist
a happy sigh
this is deceiving
i should be leaving
long lashes move
you rub your eyes
i look away
it’s half past eight
don’t look at me
why must you stare?
don’t pull me close
don’t keep me here
don’t act like you think i’m so precious
don’t even dream of us together
i just can’t love you
like you would need to
close your eyes
hold them shut and wait
shooting stars,
like me, never stay
you’re really sweet i swear i mean it
anyone else would be defeated
but that’s just not me
i’m really sorry
you deserve far more
i’ve got to go my heart is breaking
you make me feel and i can’t take it
and if i hurt you
honestly that’s something
i never meant to do

i am the earth
i am the one you orbit daily
the fixation you love to linger on
and you are the moon
you are beside me dear endlessly
i wonder if i even miss you when you’re gone
i am the one so far away from you
and yet so near
you’re waiting for the day i finally see you
you whisper softly to me, across velvet sky,
“i’d really love to know you more,”
“i’d really love to know you more”
he’s the sun
he’s the center
of a system that would crumble if he left
how i love the heat
that being around him brings to me
can’t you see
that i feel
just the same as you?
he is the one so far away from me
and yet so near
i’m waiting for the day he finally sees me
i call out softly to him across velvet, starry sky
“i’d really love to know you more”
“i’d really love to know you more”
“i’d really love to get to know you more”
why are the ones so far away from us
those we want near?
when someone notices us,
why are they unseen?
we’re calling out but no one hears us
across velvet sky
“i’d really love to know you more”
(“you are the one that i adore”)
“i’d really love to get to know you more”
why is it hard to tell the ones we want
just how we feel?
and are we truly happy circling nearby?
trapped in space,
where no sound travels
across velvet sky
