NO SIGNAL FOUND [RE-WRITING]

the sun and the rest of the sky

all my life i've been cold
so when you wore hand warmers
under your skin i believed
you could thaw my heart
and thaw you did but
it hurts the most when it leaves
and you realize what you're missing out on

people leave marks on me
in more ways than one
you're not making it fair,
i just wanna know you like
you know me. the sun is in
your eyes and i ask
"are you still in love?" was he ever?

you burn up bridges and
dry out rivers so easily,
i wear myself down
so quickly by building
structures and stealing
water from the deepest
parts of the ocean

i just wish that you'd
miss me late in the afternoon
surrounded by people,
don't miss me at
3am while you're
lying in bed
alone

it's your blood rushing
through me, tell me
how to forget this place
while missing it at the same time
sometimes i wish for the snow
because snow will eventually
bury the thought of you

so you see, i had
finally caught my first real
glimpse of hope when you
walked up with your sunshine
eyes and melting hands, the same
person who has the power to give
me the sky and take it all back
