Sorrow
<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>
 
  </div>
