i.
when I met the sun
he was loud and bold
and when he walked in the room
everyone couldnt help but notice him
he was the life of the party
and he always had a joke to tell
when he left me in the evening
I didn't know what to do
I was broken out of a spell
skin burnt, eyes blinded
I didn't know what to do
ii.
when I met the moon
he was beautiful to look at
he spoke in hushed tones and
he learnt the workings of my mind
he stayed silent when we were tired
he spoke of us when he was happy
he spoke of us when he was upset
when he left me in the morning
I didn't know what to do
but wait for his presence again
the silver sparkle blinding my eye
I didn't know what to do
iii.
when i met you
you were loud and bold
you were beautiful to look at
and within seconds I was sold
the idea of your hushed whispers
and the thought of your warm touch
i was seeking the best parts
of a love long disappeared
snatching from your nest
that was built for someone else
i didn't know what to do
there's a hollow space in my chest
from where your love has vanished
i still don't know what to do
