Stopping at the Sea Shore


I may never understand why you left

I guess I just have to accept that this is the way it was ment to be

Kind of like I'll never understand 

Why the ocean stops at the shore instead of washing away the land 

If only someone could hold my hand the way you held my heart 

Someone who could make me feel the way you did, and not give up so easily

There's no need to be angry 

It's okay to be sad

I  just have to trust theres something 

Someome better for me

Swirling around the universe 

Someone who will believe in themselves as much as I believed in you

In us

Someone who never takes a wish for granted 

And always counts the stars

Looking back you were always closer than I thought

There's no point in starting something new

The heart wants what the heart wants

I just wish your's wanted mine too

They say never say never

But you can't start a fire 

In the pouring rain.
