It would be so impossibly easy to love you

But I can't help that I'm not falling

I looked for a million reasons why

But love never comes calling

I searched for any signs

That you might love me so

But in the end, we fall to Earth

And I'm proud to call you my friend

Our bond does not run through our veins

Our hearts do not share the same beat

But I care for you, and you are the same

We go through life and never feel shame

I could talk to you for hours

And never get bored

You'll be at my wedding, and I'll be at yours

You are the brother I never had

And everyday you are alive,

I know I will never be alone

It was the color of her lovely eyes

When they reflected the beautiful skies

Feeling morose, rain trickled down from them

Enraged, they became the ocean, those gems

With brutal raging storms wrecking poor ships

And violent winds casting you from her lips

I got lost in her robin's egg eyes from afar

But how fragile the shells always are

The last things I saw before she left

Were sapphires gleaming for another's theft

The color, like her eyes, is full of contradictions

From her lips she spilled beautiful fictions

It's a cold color, ask any painter or poet

Yet still they warm me thinking of them yet

Now another is holding her tonight

Those eyes will close without a fight

But everytime the hydrangas bloom,

I feel insurmountable, dreary gloom
