Shooting Star

You're out of my reach
So far from my grasp
Something your preached
But I'd hope would last

Very few ties that bind
Yet my heart is with you
Longing for you to find
A way to make it through

I doubted that I'd feel this way
I laughed you off as a joke
I often think back to that first day
The very first time we spoke

My heart is bound
To a shooting star
Streaming to the ground
Not able to stretch this far
