Unattainable

Your heart's a firefly;
It seems so unattainable.
All I've ever wanted was to capture it;
I'd put it in a mason jar..

I'd see my reflection in the glass whenever I took a peek at it.

You've been searching to find your refection in everyone that isn't me.
Giving chances, getting to know one another;
I've been here since the beginning.
We lost our friendship,
I understand that we need to grow in order to try.
Because at this time in our lives,
we aren't strong enough to fly.

We can not feel that our heart beats are in sync,
Or see that the impossible could be reached.

I want to let go of the fantasy that I hold onto..

Before I go to bed at night,
And all I can imagine is feeling the smooth touch of your hands gliding down my cheeks.

The excitement that burns within me,
The idea that we could grow together.

Everything I've ever wanted in a partner,
All the qualities I found in you...
