Vanilla Twilight

*The stars lean down to kiss you,

And I lie awake and miss you.

Poor me a heavy does of atmosphere.*

 

I would lay in bed,

Those late nights,

The words I read from your texts

Still lingering in my head.

I'm falling fast and hard.

I miss you so much,

But I felt happy that you say good night,

Going to get your good night's sleep

While I stayed awake,

Grinning from every cute thing you said.

 

*'Cause I'll doze off safe and soundly,

But I'll miss your arms around me.

I'd send a postcard to you Dear

'Cause I wish you were here.*

 

I'd begin to feel sleepy,

But I'd imagine you right there with me,

Your arms around me,

Resting your head on my neck,

As we always wished we could be cuddling together.

I wished you had been there,

To make me feel safe

And happy.

 

*I'll watch the night turn light blue,

But it's not the same without you

Because it takes two to whisper quietly.*

 

Not sharing whispers,

But looks.

We'd look at each other

Silently,

Not having to say one word to each other

Because we already knew how we felt

For each other.

 

*The silence isn't so bad,

Till I look at my hands and feel sad

Because the spaces between my fingers

Are right where your's fit perfectly.*

 

Remembering how your hand fit in mine.

Such a perfect moment,

It felt so right,

Resting my head on your shoulder,

Our hands grasping the other

Never wanting to let go.

 

*I'll find repose in new ways

Though I haven't slept in two days

'Cause cold nostalgia chills me to the bone.*

 

Sleepless nights,

Alone in my chilled room.

Beneath a million blankets,

Hugging pillows,

But none could substitute the feeling of my arms

Around you.

 

*But drenched in Vanilla Twilight

I'll sit on the front porch all night,

Waist deep in thought because

When I think of you,

I don't feel so alone.*

 

Completely drowning in thoughts

Constantly about you.

I felt safer and not alone

Because the thought of you being there

Made me relax,

And feel safe

Even though miles separated us.

 

I don't feel so alone.

 

I don't feel so alone.

 

*As many times as I blink,

I'll think of you,

Tonight.*

 

I'll think of you tonight

 

I always thought of you;

Every day

And

Every night.

You never left my mind.

 

*When violet eyes keep fire

And heavy wings grow lighter

I'll taste the sky and

Feel alive again.*

 

Soon enough,

You were gone,

And with someone else.

I find myself grower stronger.

My heavy heart slowly grows lighter.

Some day I'll be ready for someone else

But not soon;

I'm still in love with you.

 

*And I'll look at the world that I knew

But I swear I won't forget you.*

 

*Oh, if my voice could reach back through the past

I'd whisper in your ear,

"Oh, Darling, I wish you were here."*

 

If only I could tell you of all the times

I wanted you around.

I probably did,

But just to go back and say it

Once more

I would do any day.

Mine and my ex's song. Vanilla Twilight by Owl City

And some story about us when we were together and before hand

Sometimes remembering is nice :3
