Falling Without Wings

I watch you laugh

Your smile's a flame

Lighting up the dark

But it’s not my name

You speak so soft

Your words take flight

But they never land where I am tonight

I’m the shadow on your sunny day

Close enough to feel

Too far to stay

I’m falling without wings

A bird in the rain

Reaching for a sky that won’t call my name

Loving you in silence

It cuts like glass

A future I can’t touch

A past I can’t pass

You hold the world like it’s in your palm

While I’m holding back storms

Trying to stay calm

Every glance you throw is a spark

A tease

But it’s not for me

Just a passing breeze

I’m the echo in your melody

A fading note you’ll never see

I’m falling without wings

A bird in the rain

Reaching for a sky that won’t call my name

Loving you in silence

It cuts like glass

A future I can’t touch

A past I can’t pass
