Even though you're not mine I never want to look at another skyline without you by my side
Sunsets with silhouettes of big trees or city lights or the milky way
What is it that I need to say
Or should I say nothing and let the universe have its way

You give me your time of day here or there, but I wish for days where we can be a pair anywhere
And forgive me if I stare, but I'm just looking for a sense of clarity, here or there, in the dimples of your smile or the way you may play with your hair
Because I don't know if you love me like I do you, if you're saving me for later, or if you even have a clue

Because I looked into you by letting you look into me to see if you could find something worth saving forever
But you got scared, and now it's something we don't talk about, ever

I don't know if you're acting or reacting, but what I feel is chemical, like the way my hairs stand up on my body when I get close to you
Or when I feel so complete whenever I tell you something I tell everyone
Like you're the only one it matters to tell

But who am I to tell you who I am, you can already see part of me in you no matter how hard you push or shove
And no matter what you choose, even if you don't love me like I do you, you will always know in the back of your head that I was the guy you should have loved

But that's not how love works, it's non-sensical
Like a black hole that warps light around it
I'll be wrapped around you like obsessed photons
But you'll never let me in
