How many years of research would go by
Before I found the recipe
For distillations of a softer time
A feeling and a memory
If I could place those moments in a jar
Preserved inside so perfectly
No matter where you'd go, however far
I'd always have you close to me
But now
All I can do is reach out
Fingers tracing the stars
Wondering where you are
And if
You're reaching out for me too
Though I've known from the start
That I won't reach your heart
I've always said I live with no regrets
I promise you that it's still true
But sleepless dreaming was the catalyst
And now I'm all used up by you
If I could jar the fragile moments, too
Sequestered under lock and key
No matter where you'd go or what you'd do
It wouldn't matter much to me
But now
All I can do is reach out
Fingers tracing the stars
Wondering where you are
And if
You're reaching out for me too
Though I've known from the start
That I won't reach your heart
