Your Face Could Launch a Thousand Ships
As I glance at the steadfast stars aloft
in a somber black mood, ship's
sails billow across celestial waves.
My smile died with memories
not wiped away, 'twas my choice.
How many times a day did I
watch your beautiful face in my daydreams.
Your face could launch a thousand ships.
As hard as it's going to be,
I'm willing to let you go
so you can go on with your life.
You're going to be happy;
that's all that matters.
The very thought of it
is like a knife in my heart
twisting and turning
each time I imagine
someone else has taken you.
I allowed myself to get close to you;
I'm willing to love you from afar.
