Why do I feel like I’ve lost you?
And you weren’t even mine to begin with.
You’re within my grasp, yet I never held you.
Because I couldn’t. Because I shouldn’t.
Because your touch would shatter me.
Your smile would melt me.
Your laughter would be the end of me.
You’re across me…
But we’re oceans apart.
Your touch I would never experience.
Your smile would just be a distant star.
Your laughter would be just an echo.
Because I’ve lost you.
And you weren’t even mine to begin with.

Why do I feel like I’ve lost you?
And you weren’t even mine to begin with.
You’re within my grasp, yet I never held you.
Because I couldn’t. Because I shouldn’t.
Because your touch would shatter me.
Your smile would melt me.
Your laughter would be the end of me.
You’re across me…
But we’re oceans apart.
Your touch I would never experience.
Your smile would just be a distant star.
Your laughter would be just an echo.
Because I’ve lost you.
And you weren’t even mine to begin with.
