Eyes drawn upwards You would think I thought all the answers Were written in the clouds, In the craters of the moon, In between the changing hues – Orange, yellow into blue Then black. I’m just searching for you. Distracted by the calm of the skies, I’m reminded of what I Saw in your eyes - Serenity. And when the sun dips Beneath the horizon – Serendipity. Because I was never meant to have you, I was never meant to find you Again. Look but don’t touch, You gave me so much of a rush That I thought it was love. I still think it was love. Imagine what life would have been like if you had Thought it was love, too. There’s nothing to regret, Nothing I’d want to undo Even all the time I spent crying over you. Because It taught me That the sun is to the moon As you are to me. As careful and restrained is to Wild and carefree. It had to be done. Like the moon has to rely on the sun, I had to rely on life to give me something that would make me shine… Even if it burned. Even if it came from elsewhere. Even if it meant you were elsewhere. I had to learn how to lose In order to learn how to grow. Like clouds that beautifully billow Against a blue sky, I had to know That a time would come When I would break, When all that I had taken Such care to create Would become too heavy And, for me, unnecessary To cling to. But like clouds don’t need to keep the rain, I didn’t need to keep you Nor keep the pain. Because We never needed to remain, We were needed elsewhere. |
