she separated from her group of friends,
no,
she separated from
e v e r y o n e .
eventually, everyone stopped trying to talk with her,
they stopped yearning for her happiness.
except him.
the ache inside his bones was stronger than ever
and he wanted to caress her arms and whisper
"you are okay we are okay are you okay"
but his fear kept him back.
what could a girl like that, as alone as she now is,
want with a guy like him?

my breath fogs up the glass,
wet vapor forming puffs
on the surface.
I raise my hand
and pound,
the sound is deafening
but the boom is only in my ears.
for they are separated
they hear only
the warm flickering candles
that smell like apple cinnamon.
the glass is chilled
against my closed fist
it freezes my fingers
and glues them together
but I know
that it is warm
loke their heavy breaths
on the other side.
I scream
but at the same time
they joyously laugh
and their happiness
drowns out my pain

You know what drives me crazy,
So insane?
I'm here dying for your attention
when you threw it down the drain
My mind's been missing for a while,
But after you left it became a hopeless case
I know you know I miss you
I know you feel the same
And if you want we'll leave it all behind
We'll start over again
I'm not asking for an apology
I'm just asking for some pain
Cause you look so human but you act a different way
I love you, present tense
But pride's always been your middle name
I've been dying to tell you how much I miss you
But I can't-
And that's what's driving me so crazy,
driving me insane

Oh universe
I love you so much
and that's why I just don't understand
why everything I touch
just seems to die
but if I could reach you
yeh if I could reach up high
I'll tell you all, I'll reach the stars
I'll reach past the sky.

And now
there's only so much minutes left in the day
and if I could reach out
I'd let my time slip away
just to be with you
oh just to be with you...
I'll tell you, that's what I'll do.

But if I could reach the stars
I'll tell you, I'd just  keep going
and we'd find out where we are
because there's a simple comfort in knowing
and the stars
yeh those little lights still glowing

We've reached the end
and now we're falling apart
can't pull ourselves together
because we don't know where to start

and now we're drifting away
from each other
no signs, no way
to find one another

if we go
our seperate ways
I'll still try to find you though
and where are you
I still don't know
but inside both our hearts are dying
so...

if I reach out
will you reach for my hand
if I reach for yours
and...
you slip away
so...
we're still drifting
further and further away

oh universe...
