I'd might've given up my rest as the sun rose and then set
because seeing you asleep in peace warmed my soul
I'd have laughed a little harder at your jokes
because in those moments everything seemed right
I would have kept you up just a little bit longer
Laid on your chest just a little bit closer
Pulled away from your kiss just a little bit slower
To cherish the moments we shared
Whether love or lust, in trust or mistrust
I felt as though for once my place in life was right
I could grow with this, become whole with this
If you had only known this, maybe things wouldn't have changed
Or in those beautiful moments, stayed the same
It's saddens me how things got so chaotic
How our personal life became public
No one's judgements mattered to me but yours
I'd have preferred secrecy it if would have allotted for us to endure
But now I'm slowly erasing these facts
Not as a bitter act, just to keep my heart intact
Because at last you were right
I fell too fast, let reality pass
Us by, and dwelled in a state of ecstasy
But I won't regret or fret how this story came to an end
Because in that state with you I felt that one day I could be loved again
Despite my attitude of feeling jaded
And exclaiming that love for me had faded
You were my regal man, dressed in the garbs of a proud angel
Never spoken but known, my moment of happiness
Once alive but now, alone
