When I'm laying awake in the velvet night fall
I will think of your lips
How I have yet to kiss them at all
But you still know nothing
about the life of my old love for you.
You are going to leave me soon
And I still don't have the courage
To talk to you often enough
I feel like the smallest person
In the world when
I am around you
Because you are so beautiful
And like this velvet night
But you are not falling,
You are just as soft as the night sky,
You're still growing too.
I think that's wonderful,
But I can't see it clearly
Because we are as distant as the stars,
That is what makes me smaller
