One Chance

button

I lay out on my back

And look at the tiny lights

That shine down upon me

And glow so bright

birds

My body is still

But my mind is not

I wonder about him

And where he is at

birds 

Is he lying down

And looking at the night sky?

Is he looking at the same stars

In the warm July

 birds

He makes me feel special

I fall for him real quick

I wonder how he does it

Maybe I’m just sick

 birds

That night he held me

In his arms so tight

He whispered in my ear

And everything was so right

 birds

I wish I could have him

The way I want to

Thinking about it

Just makes me so blue

birds 

My stomach feels empty

And my head begins to pound

It’s as if I’m searching

For something that can’t be found

birds

I hate wanting something

I just can’t have

Its like reaching for something

You just can’t grab

birds 

My eyes become heavy

So I take one last glance

At the stars up above

And wish for just one chance

birds
