I am in love with strangers and the unknown

And as the wind still silently sweeps through the trees
And the sun carries on to shine every day
And the seasons keep on changing
And the years keep coming by
I’ve never loved you more

Didn't mean for this to happen
Now my heart is feeling heavy

A picked flower
Slowly draining
However it could never be
You or me

A change of mind
Withering and closing in
A last attempt of reaching out
For you from me

With petals lost
The flower's long gone now
And I get that
We will never be the same

Maybe it was because you were so ethereal
That I couldn't picture a reality of you with such a simple soul as me

I wish I could swallow a dictionary and baffle you with the most extraordinary words in existence.

And if thoughts
could be collected
Would your jars
be filled with poison
or passion?

And I know you want to be heard
But first find the courage to speak
Speak the words that are dying to leave your lips
Tell me everything you have ever dreamt about
and all the things you want to change
Talk for the rest of eternity,
I don’t care, I’ll listen
And I know, I know you don’t believe in love forever,
but I have faith enough for the both of us

Always driving past, all those places just flashed by
Now I’m older and regret, rushing through my life

I used to compare you to a star
Yet it took long before I realized
How truly right I had been

For you did shine brighter
Than anyone I’d ever seen
But had been burning all along.

In the shadows I saw your face
For you would hide away from daylight
To afraid of what the world would say
When they see that you outshine them

The stars
So close and yet so far
Just like you

We were on fire
The world never saw
Such brightness
Before their cities
All burned down

This addiction of mine
It has consumed me for the longest time
