The Cosmos' Song


I miss your smile, your sparkling eyes

Leaving you was my only sin

Until the stars align nothing is right

But I’ll keep searching without a telescope


Searching through galaxies is no easy feat

So leave it up to fate and take off the mask

Whether change is to come, or everything’s the same

Your presence never leaves my mind

The sky turns dark, the music stops

Stars disappear and my world crashes down

The cosmos have sung, and decided my fate

For a short time, it was you I despised


But the sky cleared up, the music started playing

I kick myself for leaving and not turning around

After I realized you were never coming back

Part of me wished to play another song


Stars haven’t aligned, the cosmos haven’t sung

I wait for eternity, but you never appear

Maybe it’s time for me to move on

But that lingering hope still burns inside
