Six years since I met you
2,269 days since we first spoke
3,267,360 minutes have passed since that conversation in a new city
When I asked you what your name was
When you gave me that first piece of your heart

Six years since you told me you loved me
2,194 days since that midnight conversation
3,159,360 minutes have passed since I confessed the same under new stars
When I was two thousand miles from you, but I felt like I would never be alone again

Three years have passed without you in my life
1,576,800 minutes since I saw your blue eyes looking at mine
When I had hope that we could fix things
That I could be enough for you to love me again

Six days since we last spoke
8,640 minutes that I’ve been thinking about the
83 words we shared

And how I wish
That for one second
I would stop missing you

You told me I could never have the sky

It was not mine to take
Only there to be gazed upon but forever out of reach

Looking back and up right now i stretch out my hand
To touch the stars you gave to me
And love these ones instead

You clipped my wings and when I mourn somehow
It will forever be for you.
You have never known pure fascination
And for that I pity you

Better to have loved and lost
Than never flown at all.

The sky never used to interest me
Too open, large, and unknown
But something changed deep inside
When I met a boy with
Sky
Blue eyes
I longed to prove my worth
I threw myself out headfirst to show what I could be
Three years later I’m bruised and battered
But here I am in my bed, longing for the stars.
What once terrified me now brings me comfort
Because I know I will survive.
