Aligning The Stars

Finding whatever makes it worth the while,
to remember that today was the day
I found you tugging at the tide.
It made me smile,
that you would go to great lengths
to gently rock the sea
into peaceful sleep,
until the day breaks.

Finding whatever is in your heart,
to remember that tonight was the night,
I found you aligning the stars.
It tore me apart
that you would go to great lengths
to touch the sky
with silent cries,
until your heart breaks.

Finding whatever resonated in your voice,
to remember that today was the night,
I found you on your knees.
(to you) It brought much joy,
that you would go to great lengths
to show how much,

love and care,
you had (for me),
beyond compare,
until my heart breaks.
