I sit on a cloud, watching you walk on by,

Hoping one day you’ll see me and say hi.

But with your headphones on, lost in your song,

Shattering my heart, it all feels so wrong.

But it’s fine, I guess, I’d walk past me too,

A fool, I tell myself, that’s nothing new.

But don’t worry, I’ll be okay, it’s true,

Failure’s my companion, it’s all I ever knew.

Heart upon my sleeve, a new meaning it takes,

My heart on a string with lights, for your sake.

Yet you walked past, unaware, no glance,

I suppose it’s okay, I’d give you the same chance.

I’m just a tired soul, love’s game played in vain,

Night after night, thoughts of you in my brain.

Did I ever tell you? I guess I couldn’t speak,

Afraid you’d run away, too far for me to seek.

You’d leave as swiftly as you came, that’s clear,

But one day is one day, that’s what I’ll adhere.

I remind myself there’s still a beat, life remains,

In my chest, in my veins, despite love’s pains.

The next day, you didn’t appear, a void inside,

I searched everywhere, both far and wide.

Every cloud, every stone, every bone,

But you were never there, my heart turned to stone.

Yet day after day, I returned, hope in my core,

With this dead heart, hoping to see you once more.

But you never showed, never came back to me,

I asked myself, where did you go? I failed to see.

Till the day I gave up, stopped chasing your ghost,

Realized you had left, the love we had was lost.

So I’ll sit on this cloud, with memories and regret,

Knowing you’ve moved on, a love I won’t forget.
