I'm alone at night with only my thoughts. A terrifying and comforting thing. Yet at this time I'm left to wonder if you're asleep as well.

As the stars come out to dance in the night sky while the moon holds a beautiful symphony. Can you hear it?
My whispers between the wind? Asking to dance with you before this night ends. Or how I'd rearrange the stars to get to where you are.

So as the night continues to grow I'm hoping you know. That even though the night is eerie time. It's the thought of you no matter how far.
That never stops to put a smile on my face.

Sitting on the edge of this cliff.
It's a risk,
But I've always been the gambling type.

My poker face is something no one can mistake.
So when time should end I cannot say.
I've lost the hands of the clock that hold my fate.

I'm letting go.
Nobody is telling me I should stay.

Time is lost,
But never found.

Please don't leave.
There's something that's killing and all I need is you.
Just to hold me.

Say what you want but I'm terrified.
There's so much I want to say to you but I panic.
All I need is to talk to you.

To sense your presence.
I want to hide from you at the same time.
These feelings, how easily they show when you're near it scares me.
You scare me in a good way.

Please I'm quivering,
Can I just stay in your arms?
There's so much inside me that hurts.
I have all the pieces together but can you just keep them in place.

My mind is soothed when I'm with you.
The world becomes cleared, the nightmares settles into a dream, everything that kills me.
Dies away when you hold me.

So please can I just stay?
Right here in your arms, where everything feels safe.

Throughout our journey I've come across a thousand different beautiful things.
And than there's a light inside of you. So bright and endearing that none of these beautiful things compare to such a light.
Nothing can hold such elegance. With words that can't comprehend to explain, how you belong in the sun.
Out of all these beautiful sights, you're the one I can say ignited something within me.

The countless promises that were made between us still stand.
Even if we're no longer us,
I will have a piece of me that belongs,
Only to you.

The oceans that drift us apart,
Are no match to the everlasting love we hold for each other.
So when you're no longer here, I'm still here just like I said I would be.

Just one melody can tell a story, but none compare to the one we've created.
This heartbeats for you; I only assumed you knew that too.

The days grow colder and these promises between us.
They're drifting for you, but they're still important to me.

Such a fool to believe that we would stay in the midst of a divine emotion.
For I loved you, but did you love me?

These promises remain but they're starting to become empty.
Since I'm stuck out at sea; I can hear the sirens calling me.

This has been rewritten,
And rewritten,
And rewritten.
So maybe this time I won't have to start with everything but end with nothing.

The page stays blank but explains everything,
Or the page is filled but doesn't explain enough.
I can't seem to find the in between of these two things.

My thoughts will consume me, and I'll find myself writing.
Or my thoughts will overpower me, and I'll end up trapped inside myself.
Though soon enough a piece of paper is wasted.

That never changes.
So as I write this I contemplate it.
Hopefully this one started out with nothing and ended with everything, but even then at least I can still write something.

I've lost it.
My once clear mind is clouding up again.
There's a missing piece where you should be,
But you don't see that.

You can't see how much simpler things are for me when you're near.
So just once more I ask of you.

Hold onto me,
Don't let me go because I can't stand on my own.
I'm breaking down with all these demons inside me.

So hold me closely and they'll fall asleep.
Then once more I can feel at peace again.
In your arms, where I find what I once lost.
