Listen.

From the moment I knew you well I could've sworn there was something about you You weren't who you seemed You were a paradox You told me to be happy But you were sad You solved others' problems But you couldn't get rid of yours You were passionate But you also showed great disinterest You were a loving person But you were also indifferent You showed strong emotion But you were a soft person too You told me not to give up But you were an extreme quitter You gave a lot to others And left not much for yourself And that was who you were A broken person who fixed others Someone who wasn't who they seemed A great, great paradox

Oh shooting star How far you are If I call your name, Will you do the same? To me will you listen, While I look at you as you glisten? Would you grant me a favor As this moment we savor? Upon you should I wish Or is that extremely foolish? As you illuminate, I ask myself if you hold my fate Oh shooting star Wherever you are I have no fear As long as you know that I am here Always believing As your presence I am always seeking

Late at night While everyone else is asleep I am in fright They tell me to count sheep But it does not help me I am still not sleepy I think of everything And how everything can be taken away from me It's not about my gold ring Or car key But the people who truly matter to me What if I wake up one day Only to discover that I'm alone; just one And I don't feel okay Because my sadness has won The people whom I love Are now angels up above And I cry As it sinks in that we were all born to die

I shall not admit I miss you Even if you're one of the few The few of whom I trust The few of whom I tell my feelings to if I must The few of whom I ask for advice When I really want to be nice The few of whom I tell my secrets to Yes, I repeat, you're one of the few However, I would like to apologize Because there's something you need to realize Even if I miss you quite terribly I have no intentions of telling you honestly

I hope you find someone Who’ll pick you over everyone I hope you find a friend Who’ll be there ‘til the end I hope you find a lover Who’ll make you believe in forever I hope you find comfort food To get you through horrible mood I hope you find a song That never sounds wrong I hope you find positivity Despite all the surrounding negativity And I sure hope you have time To be happy about everything And sad about nothing

Tell me something I’ve never heard Any sentence, any word Tell me how you feel Tell me something real Tell me stories Tell me about your insecurities Tell me a poem Tell me about your home Tell me anything I’ll listen to everything Know that I’ll be here, I won’t leave your side Whatever I hear, I’m in for the ride
