Fireflies Never Came Rachie

Reaching, though I fail to speak all the little thoughts inside me
A heart, subdued, that longs to dream
Count up every word I said, glances and each of my breaths
Fade in the noise again

Glittering, you came to me, wanting to explore and see it
Out where the fireflies ignited green
If I could start again, I think
Maybe I could turn to you honestly
But dawn’ll come eternally

Show me how to love
And let me be a part of you
So bright and new, so bright and new, I knew…
“Isn’t it enough?”
“We’ll find another time to look above”
The fireflies evaded my touch

What a fool I surely am, out there from where you’re standing
Holding your laughs behind a painted mask
Funny how the fireflies only have two weeks of shining
Once they alight the night and dye the sky
If I could start another life
I would soar above it and smile bright
Maybe then you’d take by your side
