every two hours

what i can't have

i layed on my back and looked up at the sky,
and i raised my hand to the stars, i saw a plane fly,
and i saw it depart,
and then i'd thought of you,
like a sky so far away,
but you were filled with stars that shone above the blue,
and i fell in love with your array,
my brain let me soar to the sky,
and let me hold the stars in my hand,
when i opened my eyes,
i'd go to sleep to dream again,
and you're the stars that i can't touch,
because you're so far away,
and even though i love you so much,
i'll have to let you go someday,
you're so far up there above me,
and you're the stars i can't grasp,
because it hurts so bad to want something,
especially someone you can't have.
