I'm sitting here alone
Criss-crossed on my bed staring out the window
The night sky is different somehow
It's not as it once was in my memories.
Somehow the sky has aged. The stars aren't as bright, the clouds hang low, and the deep dark blue seems dull.
My memories must be too vivid
Do you remember the night sky
Our night sky
When we would lay in the grass at 2am
It was cold but we didn't mind
Our heads touching, palms flat on the dense grass
We didn't talk
We just looked at the stars
I couldn't see your face but I knew you
I knew when you smiled
When you closed your eyes trying to commit this night sky to memory
I knew that when you opened your eyes, the stars would twinkle and shine in that green sea
I thought I knew you
I remember the stars though
The story you told me will always be etched in my memories, the deep far corner I can't reach to erase
You told me after that night your favorite color was navy blue
When you opened your eyes next to me under that night sky
You were surrounded in it
The deep dark navy blue of the sky and the white stars that spotted it
You loved it so much you decided
I loved you in that moment
I loved that you loved me
Wanting to be back under that night sky hasn't faded
I need it to fade
I don't see the stars the same anymore
Sitting here I look at the twinkle wondering if they're waiting for us to lay under them before they really shine
They're waiting for us before they brighten
I'm looking at stars now
I know you see the same night sky
I wonder if you remember the stars from that night
If you feel that memory in your heart still
Under this night sky
At least we will have the stars.
