The Earth Can't Touch The Sky

While lying in the grassy field
Eyes filling up with tears
From all the pain that i have known
And gained throughout the years

When i looked up, i saw your eyes
The same blue as above
I reached my hands and brushed against
What i thought must be love

A kiss, a touch, a warm embrace
Then it came to an end
For when i reached out for your hand
It was but air again

I stood fast, screaming "Please come back!
I wanted you to stay!"
But no reply came to my ears
And i cried with dismay

For i had for a moment felt
Like i could fly and be
With you, soaring through the clouds
So happily and free

Like i'd been lifted from the curse
That kept me bound below
Or like somehow, my feelings stretched
Allowing me to grow

Up with you, just like the sun
A blossum fluttering
Where it can shine oblivious
To all the muttering

Of those who were jealous or disagreed
With how the flower spoke
Of being higher than the rest,
Not seeing through the smoke

That rose into the atmosphere
Causing a change of heart
For the wind had taken him away
An i lay torn apart

Wondering if something i had done
Or said had caused it all
What had cut my roots away
And made me take this fall?

Did i deserve to be picked
By a cruel, uncaring hand
And sold in my confusion
So i'm now forced to stand

In front of all the warnings
And the arguments that said
That i would never grown my wings
And our love would soon be dead

Before we even had a chance...
I sharply cried out "Why?!"
And then the answer hit me:
The Earth can't touch the Sky.....
