i spent fourteen months waiting for you

learning how to read your eyes

mesmerized by your smile 

when you laughed at something your friend said 

I knew I was gone when I saw you that first time 

in that yellow bus waiting to go home 

you walked through the aisle 

your hair was waving in the breeze 

with the opened windows of the bus 

the ones that made me more upset

but when I saw you with that fading light 

shining bright on your tanned skin

made my heart start keeping time

i was transported to your apartment 

where we danced through the night

you took me to a place you wanted to go

we watched the sunset 

at that moment i knew it was dangerous

being so close to you but so far away

you were my everything 

and i had nothing to give you

except for my soul and the love between the galaxies 

you could shake me a hurricane

rip apart my whole life

and I'd offer myself to you

because at least you'd be listening

we were two complex souls 

wandering in this infinite amount of time 

i called you

but you didn't hear me over the noise

of the crying of the moon

you were distracted by

the light of the stars

i sit by the window these days

wondering why you stared at the stars

what was it about them 

that made them shine brighter than me

was it the twinkle in their eyes 

or how they illuminated even in the darkness

but i talked to the moon last night

and he told me what really happened

you never wanted an array of atoms

mixed with blood or human emotions 

you wanted a comet that would never die 

to circle around your galaxy

singing praises of you forever

to fit into the universe you had created in your head
