yanking the stars from the sky is a simple feat

feel my fingertips as they caress your cheek
an all too familiar feeling brings back so many memories
everything comes rushing back to me and it's like you're really here again

i remember that time in the rain, and i hold it so dear
that time i held you close and whispered into your ear
told you not to worry, it was going to be okay
i would give anything, everything to just relive that day

i don't know anything anymore, not even myself
i can't feel anything real and i blame this on you
where are you? i can't feel you close anymore...
but i can't i won't give up on you, never never i can't let go
they may say i'm in denial, but they don't know
you'll come back someday and we'll be together
everything will turn out fine, i know it will
it's the only thing that makes sense to me

everyone who has tried to love me since you
they all told me that i'm a mess and they're right
i just can't sleep without you by my side
i miss your warmth, the beauty in your kiss
i used to get so nervous being around you and now
i'd give anything to have that feeling back

it's been too long since the last time i saw your face
and even longer since our lips touched that way
i know that it would be heaven to look into your eyes once more
to get back to the way we were before

i remember it all like yesterday
though those memories seem so far away
i called you my cinderella and you just smiled that pretty smile of yours
i miss that smile, the one you held only for me
i loved the way you made me feel
and it drives me crazy to know no one will ever compare
no one can bring me there again, to that place where i feel safe

i was a different person then
and i've changed so much
but i can't help thinking that we'd still fit together like we did back then
we were meant to be, soul-mates from now until the end of time

truly i haven't stopped whispering your name with my eyes closed
wishing under the stars each night for your return
i haven't stopped wishing since you left, and that painful feeling still remains
it's been too long and i've lost track, something like three or four years
all of it's a blur but i remember your hand in mine
and the forbidden kisses you stole under the sheets

i would give you night and day, the sun and the moon
i would yank the stars from the sky, only for you
a simple feat compared to your return
please know you can come home anytime
consider it, you could make me taste happiness again...

author's note: i can't deny that she's the only one in my heart. only one person has ever come close to making me feel what she did, and even then, it wasn't enough. nothing can be enough. i ache to see her again, but i don't know if i ever will. to this day i cry for her, and these feelings have yet to fade. why can't i be okay again?
