The Night Sky



When I see the moon,
I think of you

We laughed and smiled all night long;
You forgave me even when I was wrong.

You've made me so happy,
yet feel so crappy.

You've helped me face my fears,
yet you caused me so many tears.

I thought you were the one,
until you said we're done.

A part of me has died,
as I sat there feeling alone.

As time passed,
it never felt so fast.

You said you needed time and space,
when all I wanted was an embrace.

I have accepted the hard truth,
as I wished we had more time in the photo booth.

As I say goodbye,
I hope one day we'll go back to watching the night sky.
