the problem with kissing a gentleman

i fell in love with the stars

because i never thought they'd let me down

until one night it was cloudy

and not a single sky diamond could be found

so i became quite fond of the sun

and basked in its warm and comforting glow

until one day, the sky kept crying

and the heartless sun refused to show

so i decided to fancy the moon

thinking the moon would always come through

but every day it faded away leaving the night

the way it left me; empty and velvet and dark blue

so as you see, i'm used to being disappointed and alone

i feel abandoned each time i stop and reminisce

and quite honestly, chances are one day you'd leave me too

so that's why, kind gentleman, i decline your kiss
