Oh slowly, drifting off to sleep
I feel moonlight touch my skin
And all over my fragile clothes
Thus painting my arms so thin
Rolling my fingers in my hair
Loosing myself in their scent
Humming those soft melodies
I think about what you meant
Back under the street lamp post
Hidden in the shades and light
When you whispered, my eyes
Were always shining so bright
Oh how you wanted me to stay
Just a little longer than midnight
How you kept holding my hand
Wanting me to stay in your sight
The way you closed your eyes
While you kissed my knuckles
Adorning my skin with beauty
I still can't forget our chuckles
Oh how you valued my presence
And never wished to let me go
For even a single little moment
Holding me close, yeah I know
I wonder where it went wrong
And what shadowed our laugh
Before you slowly faded away
Why? You were my better half!
What took you away from me?
And made you vanish like that?
While I'm crying all by myself
Feeling all shattered and sad..
Closing my swollen eyes in defeat
Oh maybe I wasn't good enough
I let the drowning sleep get to me
Forgetting all my broken stuff
Somewhere in between all this
I smile for you were a lovely sin
And even though you are gone
I feel moonlight touch my skin..
