How is it
that I feel so
much
and yet
nothing at
all?

It will all be okay
that's what I tell you, at least
but you don't believe me
I don't blame you
I don't believe me either

and suddenly
every love song
was about
you

"I love you."
I whisper as I set my alarm
"I love you."
I whisper as I write down goodbye
"I love you."
I whisper as I creep down the stairs
"I love you."
I whisper as I open up the bottles
"I love you."
I whisper as I empty them into my hand
"I love you."
"I love you."
"I love you."

I can see more stars in your eyes
than I've seen in the sky
I don't know whether
that says more
about you
or the sky

I wish
I could just
kiss you
without
fearing
those who
watch

watch the
autumn leaves
break off in
the wind and
spiral down
in a grace
ful twirl be
fore landing
on the cold
wet
pavement
