i wish the stars would stop whispering in my ears
all the things
i wanted you to know

i wish the wind would stop bringing the memories
bittersweet moments
and with them the smell of your perfume

i wish the moon would stop telling me
she saw the way i looked at you that night
when your fingers were in my mouth
and chills were running down my spine

i wish the sidewalks would stop reminding me
of the places we have been

i wish the cold would stop making me miss you
your warm breath when you kissed my neck
and the heat of your fingers when they ran through my hair

maybe i'm a coward for not saying i love you
but for now

i'll let the stars
the wind
the moon
the sidewalks
the cold haunt me
and secretly wish
they'll bring you back
