I have a dream
That someday you'll be here.
In my arms.

But for now you'll be at someone else's.

And I'll be here, waiting for you.

She caught my dreams
with a net like
a broken winged firefly.

She stored it in
the mason jar
of her heart.

My heart ached for the first time in ages when I saw you
My heart ached when you and I were introduced to each other
My heart ached when we talked of how your boyfriend hurt you.
My heart ached when I saw tears forming in your eyes.
My heart ached when I saw you smile a carefree smile.

Whatever you do, whatever you did.
My heart aches.
It aches for you

I'm not fully ready to be with you
I am still figuring myself out
But what if being ready is a myth
Fabricated by those who let fear win
I don't want to let this linger any longer
I need you under my skin
I need you in my veins
In my sheets
In my arms
You have been in my mind
Since the fourth of July
And I can't stand pretending anymore
I know it's not smart
But I need to follow my heart

..And it leads me to you.

Crazy to believe in
a future that will not be.

I hate the night
Because I remember you.
All that we could have been
Will not be
Because you and I
Weren't meant to be.
