<div>

"You were better off when you were chasing me,"</div>
<div>

Well I hardly knew what I was doing,</div>
<div>

I didn't know what role I had to play,</div>
<div>

I was there because I fell in love with you,</div>
<div>

And now I wonder how I should have made you stay.</div>
<div>

 </div>
<div>

This old town doesn't seem the same anymore,</div>
<div>

Nor does my heart beating inside my chest,</div>
<div>

It's sustained aching for you forevermore,</div>
<div>

I wonder when it'll remain at rest.</div>
<div>

 </div>
<div>

This blanket seems colder now,</div>
<div>

My perfume has long since evaporated from it,</div>
<div>

"I knew that I could have died for you,"</div>
<div>

I said, disappointedly to the moon.</div>
<div>

 </div>
<div>

The moon never wakes me up anymore,</div>
<div>

As it once did when he promised he would,</div>
<div>

I always bade him goodnight to tell you,</div>
<div>

In hopes that he would return a goodnight too.</div>
<div>

 </div>
<div>

Tears stain a letter never sent to its addressed location,</div>
<div>

Sometimes I can't help it once it just starts pouring out,</div>
<div>

I wish I could look at you once more</div>
<div>

Maybe then it'll be enough.</div>
<div>

 </div>
<div>

But I wonder who'll read it,</div>
<div>

And think that I can't move on.</div>
<div>

Bitterness and ache plague the mind,</div>
<div>

Finding you has given a different kind of sign.</div>
<div>

 </div>
<div>

Through all of the tears stinging my cold cheeks,</div>
<div>

And cries choking on the words you've promised me,</div>
<div>

I'll still look for the one thing you've taken back from me,</div>
<div>

And it's in him I finally see. </div>
<div>

 </div>
<div>

I long to love you like nobody has ever done,</div>
<div>

I want to be your moon at night </div>
<div>

And during the day, your sun.</div>
<div>

I'll long to sing you lullabies and comfort you when you're upset,</div>
<div>

I'll hold you when you believe nobody else is around,</div>
<div>

And find you when you need to be found.</div>
<div>

I want to be the keeper of your secrets,</div>
<div>

And be your love until the end of time,</div>
<div>

Most of all, I long to be your friend until words no longer rhyme. </div>
<div>
