I'm not like the sunlight, I'm not warm and bright
My rays don't sparkle nor glisten with light
People aren't drawn to me in the summer haze
They don't spend their afternoons adoring my gaze

I'm more like the moonlight within the darkest nights
Not bright nor beautiful but still providing some light
My rays are soft and gentle, peaceful as such
I won't burn nor blister the people with my touch

And though I arent as loved, nor am I as romanticized by poets
I'll hide in the shadows of silver clouds, You'd hardly even notice
But I'll give you what I can, I'll listen to your woes
So even on the darkest nights, you won't feel so alone

So come sit upon the rooftops, every once in a while
Rugged up in a blanket, show me that perfectly imperfect smile
Cause even though I can't provide the same love, as the sun gives days
I promise I'll stay by your side, giving you little glisten of moonlight
Forever and Aways

~

Its hard to stop and smell the flowers
When the sun in the sky don't shine

This is going to sound stupid
It's going to sound crazy
but I think...
I'm falling in love with you
Heart racing with a text
Smiling from ear to ear
It's so light, so sweet
I find myself yearning to meet
with another ding, my phone goes
Racing to see to my delight
Your name upon the lock screen
What a wonderful night

How can you already have me wrapped around your little finger?
Though I don't mind. I'm only wishing you were mine

~

I wonder why sometimes
You're the only ones who can make me cry
Make me sulk as if I am a child
And I'll always sit there thinking why

You've got a soft spot in my heart
A place that makes me feel warm
that no matter how far we go
We once battled through the storm

Some say I love you too much
Those words aren't entirely false
As I would give up my world for you
Even if all you can see are my faults

You've insulted me
Made me cry
Made me feel insignificant
At points made me want to die

But Its childish play
I know it too well
As before this time
I did all that as well

And over the years we may have drifted
I've become so small to you
You don't seem to care
The only words when you see me are
Shut up
Ending it with a glare

It really hurts me
even to this day
My feelings for you both
remain the same

Though I'm no longer the protector
The cool one who beat up your bullies
Or the smart one who helped you do homework
Or even the kind one who gave you sweets

After all these years
I thought you needed me
But it seems that
I'm the one who so desperately
Needs to be needed

She said you were malicious
To be weary when I see you
Due to the things that she heard
And the comments you made

She told me that there is hidden
Underlying ill intent
He’ll do anything to get to you
She said be careful when I went

Though I never could see it
Behind my rose tinted glasses
That can’t be it now I imagine
I haven’t worn them since our classes

My heartstrings have been tied
Securely attached to another
I care for you that is true
But for my boy I see no other

And when I see you again
That’s if we ever do
I’ll hug you like old friends
That’s just what we always do

Because in my heart you’re still the same
That strange boy that I once knew
And our past filters nostalgic feelings
Though the people we’ve become are all brand new

To that pedestal boy that I once wrote
Endless poems from my heart
Perhaps I’ll see you again someday
But it’s been better that we’re apart
