I've grown to love these cloudy skies,
Because the stars remind me of you,
How sweet the world must be
To dim their shine

I still never learned
To blow out the flames
And so they grow-
Instead of me
Burning the air
I've promised to breathe
Why keep a promise
If I'm broken as well
Not quite burning
but, still been through hell
It's through the chaos
I've found myself fireproof.
I still can't keep a promise
But, you won't burn me down.

Let's rewind to before we met,
So I can see your smile
Once more,
Before I knew
Your thoughts by heart
And was someone you adore
Let's forget eachother's
Coffee orders
And forget
Our favorite bars
Before we ever
Made mistakes
And wished
on shooting stars

I won't tell you
Our wishes never came true

Last year I would lay in your bed
Fall asleep dreaming
Of words that you said

"We can be happy"

Words we believed,
And today I still do
Though, When I wake
I'm not next to you
Still I dream
When seasons change
Too will your mind

Secrets we shared,
like a delicate thread,
Unraveled with time,
With words left unsaid.
Yet through all the pain,
lessons were learned,
In the flame of heartache,
a fire still burned

Now ashes surround us
The embers are gone
Memories are kept
But, time moves along
I miss you truly
As I light a flame
Watching the smoke
As it covers your name
If I could
I would say goodbye
But time moves along
And flames always die

I've had some time,
To clear my head
But, chose to dream
Of love instead
Foolish boy
I must be lost,
Letting you
Invade my thoughts
Sweet smile
Dark eyes

You made it hard to forget you-

A few more days
And weeks go by,
But, still
I have you on my mind
Your touch is fading
But, I'll know the pain
when I recall
Your face again

Though,
Its getting easier to forget

I tried to see things from your point of view,
And now my knees are black and blue,
I guess I learned my lesson,
Taking tips from girls like you
And boys like me,
Need time to see,
Not every flag
You wave is green,

But, for eyes like yours,
To shine like mine,
you must've also had
an awful time
