Vanilla Twilight

the stars lean down to kiss you,

& i lie awake i miss you,

pour me a heavy dose of atmosphere.

'cause i'll doze off safe & soundly,

but i'll miss your arms around me

i'll send a postcard to you dear,

'cause i wish you were here.

i'll watch the night turn light blue,

but it's not the same without you,

because it takes two to whisper quietly,

the silence isn't so bad,

till I look at my hands & feel sad,

Cause the spaces between my fingers

are right where yours fit perfectly.

i'll find repose in new ways,

though i haven't slept in two days,

'cause cold nostalgia chills me to the bone.

but drenched in vanilla twilight,

i'll sit on the front porch all night,

waist deep in thought because when i think of you.

i don't feel so alone.

as many times as i blink i'll think of you.

i'll think of you tonight.

when violet eyes get brighter,

& heavy wings grow lighter,

i'll taste the sky & feel alive again.

& i'll forget the world that i knew,

but i swear i won't forget you,

oh if my voice could reach back through the past,

i'd whisper in your ear,

oh darling, i wish you were here.
