Wondrous days
Of eternal hope
That leave us all alone
Frighting nights
Of calm abroad
Fill our hearts
With nothing but sorrow
But on that evening
Among thunderstorms in May
We saw that perhaps
There’s some glory in pain

When the stars
Seemed a little brighter
And clocks
were ticking faster
I felt sometimes
Your hand on top of mine
When mornings cried light
And your heart
Beat closer to mine
That’s when I knew
That your eyes
Time defied

Your eyes were as big as my doubts
Your words less hard than I thought
The love
Unrequited as it must
Yet my hands were shaking as you talked
Your smile prevented me to cry
The reason why
Shall only be known by the stars in the sky
For all of those things are barely memories
And I’m not the one you want in your routine
My God what I would give for you to see me
In the way that you see him
My God what I would give
For you to say the words “I do too”
When I say I love you

Unrequited love
There’s never enough
To bring our hearts and minds to sorrow
To make us long for what might’ve been
For making us cry for what never was
Hoping for the solitude to come to pass
Thinking that we belong in someone’s arms
For misery and hope
are both sides of the same coin
It’s only dark because dawn is close

When love seemed to be in the cards
And I met your mom and dad
When I discovered the kiss
And you discovered me
When you liked my jokes
And your eyes were bright
It feels like 100 years ago
When I had someone to talk
And you called late at night
When you told me I wasn’t bad
Yet I still cried for you afterward
It feels like 100 years ago
When our love fell apart
And the tears were my fault
When you kissed him
And I spent months in sorrow
It feels like 100 years ago

Swiping and swiping
Swiping my tears away
Swiping my loneliness
Swiping all my heartbreaks
Auctioning my love
Begging for some crumbs
Yet still having hope
That someday
I’ll need to swipe no more
