i now know why the stars fall
and why the sun rises.

they fall and rise
because it's their only chance
of seeing you.

i don't want to lose
you,
who isn't mine,
who is so close to being mine,
who is too impossible to be mine.

and i pray for the day
that you could be mine
like how i am wholeheartedly yours.

the idea that waiting
can bring you things you know
and never knew you needed
makes me realize
that there is hope in waiting.

i guess
that's why
we live for so long
and so short a time:
because we're waiting
and have waited
for all the best things
the world can conjure.

take my heart in pieces
and wave them around
for the world to see
that i have a heart
completely stolen from me.

tell me,
does it look like i'm already in love with you?

can you tell
that i've replaced all the stars in the sky
with every single piece of your galaxy?

it's at times like these
that i'm completely convinced
that you're my answer
