your words stick to me
like the tiny stars stuck to my ceiling
holding on for dear life
fighting against the gravity of my forgetfulness
I remember what you told me
and it puts a smile on my face

"I'm so proud of you." 

if I lay here forever
never 
will i see the sun 
as it peaks shyly from behind the mountains
covering the land I call home with it's radiant light

if I lay here forever
maybe my pain will be dulled

the tears
well in your eyes
and sparkle like a thousand stars in the moonlight
as you let them fall
freeing your soul of this sadness
I long to be there
to comfort you
and cry with you
but we are worlds apart 

reach out 
take my hand
pull me down 

from the sky
to the sand

we will run 
and play 
and jump 
and splash in the salty water of the sea

take me there
please 

that day I'm not sure exactly what was going through my mind
honest
I think I was just lonely.
but we were sitting there
me, mum, and dad.
in the window seat 
when I asked for you.
