As you struggle to sleep next to their naked silhouette   with the moonlight hitting their skin perfectly Believing that you could never be an asset in their life,   only a misprint that does not belong Will you watch over them as they sleep,   replaying all the late night conversations you had All the plans you made to see the world,   to try new things together While you lay there will you reminisce    on all the nights you spent whispering sweet nothings against them, making them moan your name Your desire for them petrifies you The yearning to touch them Yet you rise and leave You disappear into the dark world No words spoken.

This Misprint
As you struggle to sleep next to their naked silhouette   with the moonlight hitting their skin perfectly Believing that you could never be an asset in their life,   only a misprint that does not belong Will you watch over them as they sleep,   replaying all the late night conversations you had All the plans you made to see the world,   to try new things together While you lay there will you reminisce    on all the nights you spent whispering sweet nothings against them, making them moan your name Your desire for them petrifies you The yearning to touch them Yet you rise and leave You disappear into the dark world No words spoken.
