It seems like this will be just another phase. But I feel only one thing, in thousands of ways. You’re still so far from me, don’t make me chase you down. I’m past the point of no return, I feel myself begin to burn, for you.

Everything’s against us, who are they to say that way up in heaven, this match wasn’t made? They put you so far and I have to chase you down. This lesson I won’t ever learn. I feel myself begin to burn, for you.

Let’s run away.

Let’s go.

Let’s give up all we know.

Forget them and their show.

Let’s run away.

Let’s go.

And then we sing of trampolines, with all our love behind melody. But we know we can’t be right.

Our imperfection is the key to keeping it together and you with me. And I know I’ve lost my sight, but for you, I’m gonna fight.

I called because I miss your voice. You’ve left me without a choice. Let’s go somewhere, anywhere. Let’s chase the stars and drive all night. Let’s find the sun and watch it rise, we’ll find us there…

I called because I needed you. I found you in pieces, too, so for you I ran. I wish my words could help you now. I wish you’d laugh again somehow. So that night I ran.

Anywhere with you is enough for me. We’re together now, we’ll be just fine. With you, I’ve found all I need. Now let me see that smile one more time.

I miss your smell. I miss your taste. I miss the way you made my day. I miss your jokes. I miss our days, just us and the world to face. I miss the sparkle in your eyes, but I found out it’s just reprise and I wish for once in my life I got it right…

Anywhere, for you, is where I’m gonna be. But I know I’ll never change your mind. With you, I’ve found all I need. 

But I can’t bear to know your smile isn’t mine.

So let me see it one more time.

Tonight, we lie awake, remember how the coffee made us shake on those long drives.

The rain is beating on the window pane. I stare and wonder if mistakes were made. Your name has been driving me insane, and I still wonder if I’m the one to blame.

My hopes dashed to pieces as you walk away, and I still wonder if it’s not too late. My dreams are still haunted by you, and I hate that I wonder if it’s the only way.

And you know I tried, you stayed classified. So hidden from the world, no one could see the real you, even though you knew you couldn’t keep secrets from me.

Never say I didn’t try, I wasn’t about to let this die. I scream at you leaving tonight, and you won’t even tell me why.

So much to be done, so little I can do. I won’t be prepared. I won’t die for you. I won’t waste my time. You reap what you sow. But you’ve broken my heart, this much I know.

.

I miss the sparkle in your eyes. The way I felt when you’re by my side. The things you said to me that night…

Even in your darkness, you still shine.

A shattered sky. A broken sea. A completely destroyed reality.

A week gone by. A day of fast. A second feels like forever passed.

A lonely day. A lonely night. A life alone with no end in sight.

A friend betrayed. A broken vow. A mistake that must be lived with now.

A call for help. A desperate cry. A last stitch effort to make things right.

A kindness shown. A shaken nerve. A smile that you don’t deserve.

A new sunrise. A light now found. A way to make the mute have sound.

A second chance. A change of heart. A fight to prove who you really are.

So she fights in silence.

Something I wrote for an old friend. I miss you, sis. Hope to see you again someday.
