Lost Love

We were just star-struck lovers

Meeting under a fleeting shooting star

And I remember my heart beating out of my chest

still, I walked away

We only existed under the guise of night

Both walking the path by the light of the moon

Back in those days the darkness was my only friend

And I used you as my North star, guiding me home

Until one day I chose to step into the light

I embraced the warmth of the sun like an old friend

Holding me tightly filling up my soul

Renewing me

But there you stood only ever wavering in the moonlight

Afraid to step out into the sun

I waited for you, long after I should have

Yet you never chose to follow

I loved you because you reminded me of the moon

The glow I once knew so intimately

But I only felt the darkness when I was near you

Being around you felt like being engulfed once more

I don’t regret loving you

It was exactly what I needed

When I was trying to find my way

I had hoped you would join me

Yet I saw you waiver

Never stepping out of the moonlight

So, I walked away

Despite still loving you

Never believing I could find love like yours again

Because I refused to return to the darkness

And I will wander this Earth

Looking for a place to die

Or trying to find a love like yours

Trying to find a way to live

But this time I was the one who made the choice

Knowing I could live with the outcome

Adding you to my reasons to live list

Making love a priority wherever I went

Forever saddened by the loss of my choice

This season of mine led to many goodbyes

Far more than I could possibly know

I'm just grateful for the time we spent together

But baby I’ve got to go

There's something out there waiting for me

Something I must do alone

You may never understand, I know that

But baby I’ve got to go.
