The Stars Are Against Us

by emma-*gemini* - Not entered

It just isn't meant to be
so many things are against us
i finally got up the courage 
then it was smashed into the ground
i guess that's God's way of saying don't bother
but i keep thinking of the feel of your arms around me
pulling me in close to your body, all of it
the feel of your hand, caressing my body
your lips on mine
even the little things-holding my hand, stroking my arm
a naughty pinch when no one's looking
it all makes me realize i wish you knew how i felt
but i can't go there again
i can't get the courage
i did it once, now it's your turn
but you probably don't even care
how many others have you kissed, held so close?
was i nothing to you?
You weren't nothing to me, you were everything
you still are, and you don't even know
i guess it's in the stars for us to be apart
there are too many obstacles, too much work
especially since you might not even feel the same
i just want you to know i hold your name in my heart
and you hold my heart in your hands

Reason for writing:

    kinda obvious
