I'm sitting by the river
Hands clenched
I look down at my hands
Seeing the scares of the stones
The wrinkles of time
But when I look closer
All I see is sorrow
So I open my hands
Watch the pebble fall
To rest upon all the others
I lay back against the shore
And look up at the sky
Seeing all the stars
And realizing that
The world is bigger
Then this little river.

I was a kid
Content with walking the world
Looking at nothing but my feet
Until we crossed paths
And I looked into those hazels pools
Pointed like mine to the ground
Not wanting to cause fuss
What made me go after you that day?
I thought maybe there was another
That would help me
Take my eyes off the ground
And you did
I looked at the world threw new eyes
Not focusing on the what ifs
But that what could bes
When I took your hand
I felt the world shrink
Like anything could happen
We could do anything

I would like to leave this tail on the positive note
But that wouldn't be telling everything
Through dark times
Your eyes drifted
Your grip on my hand loosened
And my eyes started again drifting down
While yours stayed up
I was happy to see how you have grown over our time
But now I'm back to watching the ground
Waiting for my star to return

You are nothing but a dream
Now that you have gone
A dream that I never wanted to wake
But fate stuck his cold hand in
And you left
Not a word why
Just like my dreams
I woke to find you gone

Each night I try and recall
The smell of your hair
The spark of your touch
The warmth of your love
But all I can recall
Is nothing compared

I feel like Icarus
Being able to fly
Love gave me wings
To swore in the heavens
But
Don't be so blind
Everything falls

I fell from the heavens
I still am falling
Forever out of touch
For I
Like Icarus flew to close
And got burned

I don't know why
I still try
I want to stop
But you are my top
Even through the pain
Even with no gain
Love still beats in here
For someone I hold most dear
Trying to make seines of why  
You said goodbye

I feel like Icarus
Being able to fly
Love gave me wings
To swore in the heavens
But
Don't be so blind
Everything falls

I fell from the heavens
I still am falling
Forever out of touch
For I
Like Icarus flew to close
And got burned
