talking to the moon

talking to the moon - bruno mars

————————————————————————

i know you're somewhere out there, somewhere far away

i sat on the roof outside my window, looking at the stars. wondering if somewhere out there, he might be looking at them too.

i want you back, i want you back

with everything in me, i wanted him to be sitting on the roof next to me, his arm around me or his head in my lap. talking like we used to, or just sitting enjoying each other's presence.

my neighbors think i'm crazy, but they don't understand

i saw my next door neighbor glance out her window and shake her head at me. "you're always worried about that boy," she would say to me. "you're too young to worry about a boy so much, you'll find another one."

you're all i had, you're all i had

maybe she was right, i was only 17. why did i spend so much time thinking about him? maybe it was for the best we broke up. but he was there through everything, he was there when my mom died and when my dad lost his job. he got me through the toughest times of my life, sometimes he was the only person i could count on.

at night when the stars light up my room, i sit by myself, talking to the moon, trying to get to you

the sky was so pretty. it made me think of him. everything made me think of him. "do you miss me as much as i miss you?" i said out loud feeling the tears streaming down my face. "are you listening?!" i said louder, crying even harder. everything in me hurt so bad.

in hopes you're on the other side, taking to me too

i closed my eyes and remembered the last night i saw him.

"i'm so sorry y/n," he spoke softly. "i don't want to hurt you, i never want to hurt you, i promised you i'd never hurt you." he said as tears fell rapidly down his face.

"then why are you doing this?" i said sobbing.

"my mom said she won't let me visit. staying with you would be too much money, she says we can't afford it. she thinks i'm suffering in school because of you and that moving schools and cities will be better for us," he said sniffling and looking down at our intertwined hands.

"i'll save up money mattia, we can hide it from her, please, i'll do anything. i can't lose you." i said crying even harder than i was before. nothing hurt this bad.

"i can't y/n, i'm sorry. i'm so so sorry."

"can i call you? text? write? communicate somehow mattia please i need you i can't do this without you."

"yes you can." he said with a small smile. "you're stronger than you think. you never needed me, and you never will." he wiped his tears with the back of his hand and when he connected ours again his hands were steady. "every time you look up at the sky, i'll be there. listening for you, for your voice. never forget me, y/n. i'm always going to be with you. i'll be in the stars, the sun, the moon. i'll be in every sunset and every sunrise. every laugh and tear and smile on your face. i'll never forget you and i will always love you y/n." he said before kissing me once more, the most passionate kiss we ever had. and then in a short moment he was back out the window and on the way down to his car. i couldn't even run after him, i was frozen in place.

or am i a fool, who sits alone, talking to the moon?

"i'll always love you mattia." i spoke quietly into the night.
