staring up at the moon /
eyes stinging / throat tight /
can you see it, too? /
are we standing under the same light? /
cheeks wet / tear-stained face /
taste the salt on my lips /
prophet boy / what can i do? /
it’s simple / i miss you /
wishing on a star / wishing on them all /
just to feel my arms around you tight /
my heart is never far / it’s wherever you are /
you own my love / dominate my mind /
fall asleep /
looking in your eyes / looking in mine /
from across the miles /
through the darkness of night /
your lips / i seek /
wishing on a star / wishing on them all /
feel my hands touch your skin /
pull you into me /
deep / inside /
a birthday boy can dream /
