thoughts in the galaxy

FIRST 10 DAYS

10th day:

i'll try not to whisper, try not to speak
'cause my mouth is dry and my thoughts are bleak
i'll close my eyes and try to sleep away
'don't think i'd need more than the first 10 days

9th day:

i lay alone in bed that's made for two
it will never feel the same without you
it feels so lonely, mostly on this side
partly 'cause i know something in me died

8th day:

it's 3AM and i'll turn off the lights
try to hold the tears back with all my might
you know, i try to wish the nights away
being here alone is just not okay

7th day:

you're in every space and every corner
i feel your presence, i hear your laughter
everytime i try to open my door
i always wish to see your face once more

6th day:

you're holding my hands, i was holding yours
speaking words of love by the bedroom door
i then realized it was just a dream
woke up with the truth covering my skin

5th day:

i can see the moon outside my window
i can see it shine, i can see it glow
i suddenly wish i could be the moon
alone at night, without a trace of gloom

4th day:

"it's a regular day", i say once more
while passing by our favorite book store
i feel all my strength leaving my body
i'm at the edge and no one can see me

3rd day:

i tell myself, "it's a regular day"
as i walk across the street near the bay
i remember it's where i first met you
i was wearing a white shirt, yours was blue

2nd day:

it still hasn't sinked in, most probably
it was just yesterday when you left me
i said it was okay, i understand
but i didn't know how to release your hand

1st day:

i watch as the words fall across your lips
slightly shaking my head in disbelief
and nothing has prepared me for this day
my world falls apart as you walk away
