Hold me, tenderly
Let me hear you whisper
Those three words
And turn it into my life soundtrack

Hold me, tenderly
Let me sleep on the lullabies
Of your rushing heartbeats
And the warmth within your veins

Hold me, tenderly
For I am drowning myself
Into your deep blue ocean
And the ocean is home to me

I am not perfect
I am selfish
And rude
And heartless
And cold
And loving someone seems like a tiresome concept to me
But oh,
How I hope you find the courage to love me
Despite those things

shouldn't we be more than we are now
in another plane of existence I know we must be
two lovers wrapped in crisp sheets under the rise of dawn's glow
I can almost feel the pads of my fingertips brushing your caramel chest
...almost
you're awaiting my arrival as I succumb to sleep
proudly tasting your lips in the astral realm
intertwined in the abyssal cosmos
our toes grazing the Milky Way
and for a moment I know just what your sweet flesh feels like against mine
it's all real until reality presents itself
snapping my eyes open to the grey
alone and cold
anticipating our next date in the evanescent macrocosm

Every night now I fall asleep
With no one around but the stars
I think of how unfair it is
That they get to be where you are

They get to see you and wish you goodnight 
And greet you with the rising sun
I've always simply admired the stars
Now I wish that I could be one
 
I've started drawing my curtains closed
Just before the sun dips away
But I've forgotten of all the plastic copies
Which over my bed hauntingly play

Squeezing my eyes closed just doesn't work
Neither do clouds in the sky
And it pains me to know that I'll never be one
No matter how hard that I try
