And suddenly, nothing else mattered
The universe’s very existence ceased to have resonance within my thoughts
Not knowing I was living in darkness until you shone your light
A light filled with beauty and brilliancy that lit up my life
A life that was filled with uncertainty and night
Astonished, by meteors shooting across the midnight sky
I saw wondrous moons and bright stars soar
Through your eyes of perfection and radiating splendor;
That none on earth had witnessed before
Wishing this enough; that I could find and tell you
That you’re the only one that fills my dreams
And that nothing’s better than the sunrise
Your magical presence brings
Oh bright eyes,
You’re everything that I’ll ever need
Yet, once upon a time, you were mine
In a past life; Yes, a past life
But fate came all too soon and took you away from me,
Leaving my heart broken. Unable to beat on it’s own
And forced to suspend forever frozen in time
To become all but a piece of stone
But when the grief became too great
And reached as far up as to the heavens
Messengers of the divine descended, to make amends
For taking you before your time, and offered a deal though it was forbidden
I sold my soul, just to see you once more
To hold your hands, gaze into your eyes
And to swear on my life this for an eternity
That you always have and always will
Mean more than the breath of life that was given to me
But darling,
Because of what I’ve done, it pains me to say
Even when the sun is set
I cannot run or hide from the truth
That you’ll always belong with me
But I can never return, and belong to you
