When you still burn in my sky

Turning midnight to midday

The last rays of hope clinging to everything

Where you were the Sun

He was a barely twinkling star

And all I’m searching for is the moon

But I observe gold and brilliance in someone else’s sky.

I envy the light, that is not a lie

Because once upon a time it shon for me

But you dipped below the horizon and have yet to been seen

I’ve adjusted to this new night

Yet in a sky full of twinkling light

The last rays of you stretch to an unobstructed view

false hope in a lilac and lavender hue

Yet another carries the bouquet you handed

One of white roses and lilies, like you only half planned it

She drips in lace, a taffeta nightmare

Yet when around you I still feel something there

Perhaps it is better I found out this way

In front of her where what was on my heart was not mine to say

For if it had been you to tell me that June day

Her trust I would have begged you to betray

But it is your choice whose heart you chose to rest and lay

And my soul is a price I cannot pay.

Yet again I find myself repeating the same,

How am I to see the sparks from another

When you still burn in my sky

How am I to see the sparks from another

When you still burn in my sky

Turning midnight to midday

The last rays of hope clinging to everything

Where you were the Sun

He was a barely twinkling star

And all I’m searching for is the moon

But I observe gold and brilliance in someone else’s sky.

I envy the light, that is not a lie

Because once upon a time it shone for me

But you dipped below the horizon and have yet to been seen

I’ve adjusted to this new night

Yet in a sky full of twinkling light

The last rays of you stretch to an unobstructed view

false hope in a lilac and lavender hue

Yet another carries the bouquet you handed

One of white roses and lilies, like you only half planned it

She drips in lace, a taffeta nightmare

Yet when around you I still feel something there

Perhaps it is better I found out this way

In front of her where what was on my heart was not mine to say

For if it had been you to tell me that June day

Her trust I would have begged you to betray

But it is your choice whose heart you chose to rest and lay

And my soul is a price I cannot pay.

Yet again I find myself repeating the same,

How am I to see the sparks from another

When you still burn in my sky

Turning midnight to midday

His sister is my best friend

I’m the honorary aunt to his niece and nephew

His whole family is ready to let me stay with them whenever I’m around

They all wanted us to be together

And he’s marrying someone else.

Someone else is having his baby.

Someone else gets to be his why.

How did this mf get in here?

Of the love I deserve

Moments so charged with emotion

Hearts with no reserve

My grandfather helping my grandmother put on her coat

My parents dancing in the living room

My best friends helping each other on and off a boat

Snatches of love woven together on a loom

Each thread a glittering piece of hope

The fate’s tapestry does slowly unfold

To this vision I cling like a rope

Hoping my story won’t remain untold

Hearts with no reserve

Moments so charged with emotion

Of the love I deserve
