i'm remembering a time

maybe it was yesterday

maybe it was years ago

a time when we went to the same high school

before you moved away

i remember being taken aback

stunned by the angel that stood before me

a part of me wanted to cry

to not let you escape into the darkness of the night

wanting, yearning to keep you for myself

you decided at that time

with me wasn't the place you wanted to be

so you flew off

for so long that i forgot the sound of your voice

the sunlight in your smile

and how much happiness that all brought me

you stumbled over me

at the most unlikliest of places

and i was so thrilled to see you

how i wanted to hold you and kiss you

tell you how your presence alone

can make everything bad go away

we met up again

we saw each other through glossy eyes

vowing to see each other soon

now being away from you is pure torture

making me so lonely i come to cry

my eyes gaze over you now

as you sleep so soundly

how am i ever going to have the strength to leave you?
