You shine brightest under a starlit sky
The moon reflects your beauty
As the wind sings your name sweetly
It was under the heavens that we promised together
That I'll hold your hand and you'll be mine forever...
You glow brightest when the sun is at its highest
Your radiant skin warms my cold heart
You bring out the worst and best of me
Like how the sun makes me sweat and cleanses my body...
You make me shiver like the afternoon breeze
Each time the thought of your fingers grace my entirety
Like a blue streak of light your blue eyes searches for me
In that quiet afternoon filled with sweet breeze of honey...
But then you stopped glowing, then you stopped staring
I wonder how, I wonder why
You said it's the distance that is killing you
That I'm here and that you're there...
But my heart, my love
We know there are no boundaries
No time, no space can pull us apart
Only you and I can tell if this is all worth it
Only you and I can say if we should keep it
Alas you said it is all over
You broke the promise that we will be together
My heart was wounded and it broke into pieces
I am picking them up and putting them away
Put them in a safe box hoping that someday
You would be ready to put them back together
Under the starlit sky
With the radiant grace of the moon
One day you'll glow again, you'll be bright once more
And you'll bring the other half of your heart where it truly belongs...
