You Were the Sky

You sat there laughing, toes in the sand
Waves drew circles like we had a plan
Your voice was light like the ocean breeze
That summer spoke in silent melodies
Time slipped away like sunscreen on skin
Didn’t know how rare it’s been
You were the sky, you colored me bright
Cloudless and golden, you felt so right
We were a song the sun only knew
But the daylight faded, and so did you
Coffee in hand, still chasing that hue
Every park bench reminds me of you
The light hits different now that you’re gone
But echoes of you still hum in the song
Even the blue feels warmer some days
You left your sun in my haze
You were the sky, you colored me bright
Cloudless and golden, you felt so right
We were a song the sun only knew
But the daylight faded, and so did you
And I don’t reach for you anymore
But I still feel you by the shore
In every breeze, in every blue
A little piece of sky shines through
You were the sky, you colored me bright
Cloudless and golden, you felt so right
Even if time keeps pulling me through
I'll keep a little bit painted in you
