I used to be a floater
I was swept up
In your charisma
Your eyes shun so bright
And I got carried away by clouds
I lost the way
And in the end lost the brightness
Your eyes were my sun
Perhaps I floated to close
Because I sure as hell got burned
I was hypnotized
Those lips
Along with your inch deep dimples
They captured me at first sight
And I didn't stand a chance
Once the words began flowing
They didn't end
You warmed me with just your presence
So quickly I learned
And I found refuge in your voice
I knew from the start it'd end
I just had so much hope
I wanted you so badly
You saved me
And now you've brought me harm
Made me hurt
Ache
Cry too
The cloud I was floating on
Dissipated
And my dear friend the moon
Turned out the light
And let reality finally set in
So I could see
That the sun makes you warm and comforted
But it's only a tease
Because you can't touch it
And you can't hold it
Not without getting burned
Badly.
