The Stars in the Sky are Timeless

The stars in the sky are timeless

So is the light in your eyes

Tonight you’re no longer beside me

And I’m beginning to realize

That forever is quite a distance

Around me is empty space

Close my eyes for an instant

And I can only see your face

Slow down, no need to run

There’s a time for everything

Leave me if you must, love

I wish you’d understand one thing

You’ll find what you’re looking for

In places you least expect

You can fool your mind for ages

But a heart never forgets

Though it’s awkward here without you

Your absence I’ll learn to abide

Pure curiosity still gets me

Is it greener on the other side?

So I’ll lay out here, alone

Gazing into the night

The grass comforts my head

My hand no longer held tight

But I’ll wait for you I promise

For separation our love defies

The stars in the sky are timeless

So is the light in your eyes
