Swaying sounds, air that I touch
A faintly trembling breath, not much
In the gaps between the twinkling stars
A path of light that heals our scars
The night sky I draw spreads without an end
Dancing with eternity, around the bend
The layers of time, stacking so high
A single moment I trace in the sky
The things I can leave behind, I fear
Are smaller than a pebble, so tiny and clear
Prayers, after a blink, will disappear
Without even a breath, fading from here
But before that happens
If only I could finally reach you
No matter how hard I chase it through
You feel so far away, out of my sight
You should be closer than those stars tonight
But I still can't see your light shine bright
If you're waiting there, in the deep of the night
I wish you’d notice me, holding on tight
Shooting stars, shadows that rise
Memories buried before our eyes
A trail of poems, a record I keep
Writing down feelings, far and deep
Under the starlight, flowing so free
A melody of nostalgia reaches me
I sing along, layering my voice
If that’s the answer, I’ll make my choice
Because surely you'll find me there
A tiny, swaying spark in the air
If you could capture this moment I share
This flicker of life... I dream of your care
Then I wake up
Still late at night, I look at the stars
Spread across the sky, healing the scars
Like jewels laid out in a velvet display
Glowing so faintly, in their own way
Just like that light, I’ll light one too
In the middle of the night sky, just for you
So that when you look up, you’ll see it through
And notice me there, I know that you’ll do
I haven't found a single shooting star yet
My wish is still in a small bottle, a bet
Tightly packed, just as it’s always been
If I can finally reach where you are
I’ll stretch out my hands, reaching so far
Even if it's only for a fleeting second
If I can feel you're there, as I beckoned
That light will be warm, I know it's true
Wrapping me up, shining on through
Guiding me back to the heart of you
Within this limited time we share
Everywhere, through the midnight air
Until the moment the sparkle is gone
Until the break of the very last dawn
