Falling Apart

I fell for you like autumn leaves, Drifting down on gentle breeze. A quiet hope, a silent ache, A dream I knew I shouldn’t wake. Your laughter lingers in my mind, A melody both sweet and kind. Yet every step I take to you, The path dissolves—a fleeting view. You are the moon, I am the tide, Pulled so close yet left denied. No stars align, no fate is spun, For you, my love, can't be the one. So I will love you from afar, A wish upon a fallen star. And though my heart may long to stay, I’ll turn, and walk the other way.
