When I'm miles away

by Delaney

When I'm miles away,

When you feel alone

When you lie awake in the dead of the night

With a restless mind

And a shattered heart

Look out your bedroom window,

and into the sky

At the silver crescent illuminating the night

Cradling each star

Like my warm embrace

Feel the moonlight on your cheek

And remember the way your skin felt on mine

As my arms wrapped gently around your body

Remember the nights spent together

Laying awake

Lost in conversation

Or blissful silence,

Our love has a language of its own

That only our lips can speak

That only our ears can hear

And only our hearts can understand

Listen to the sound of the wind

Whistling outside your window

And remember the sound of my voice

When I whispered to you each night

I'll cherish those conversations

Of love and broken dreams

The moments we shared will last an eternity

tucked away in the depths of my heart

So close your eyes my dear,

And go to a place where the spell of reality is broken

Where the dead live forever

And love knows no boundaries

Find the replay button of life

And go back to those days

Back to the memories we made

These dreams bring the light back into our hearts

Like the glow of a full moon on the darkest of nights

So close your eyes my friend

and drift off into a peaceful bliss

When I'm miles away

When you feel alone,

Look up into the sky

And remember

I see the same silver crescent

Cradling the same stars

You are not alone

I will be your glowing crescent,

illuminating your darkest nights

I'll carry you to the edge of the moon

Where we will live among the stars

Cradled by that familiar crescent

And our love will never die
