You are one of many beautiful things

Something I can love with no strings

Because when I wake you are always gone

But I know that nothing is wrong

Your replacement shines bright

But something about her isn’t quite right

I can’t get close and love her like you

For she would burn me, unlike your midnight hue

She is the center of attention, but I prefer the shadowed girl

For you bring mystery and darken my world

---

But what a shame you are gone now

You fell in love with your own sun and you vow

To never love again until you can have the sun

So now I have to go for another one

a girl that I barely know

Hopefully she will be mine by the first snow

She is my own sun and my own brightness

She might be my next success

I speak as if i know her like I do you

I wonder if she has as many secrets as you do

Oh how conflicted I am

I can't even write this poem by hand

Because if i did, I’d have to erase and erase

Due to filling my heart’s empty space

I try to fill the hole

With someone’s hand to hold

Maybe I just miss you

Maybe you miss me too?

But If you wanted me I'd be yours

You probably think I'm a bore

It's only because I don't know how to handle these things

I’d rather look down and play with my sweater’s loose strings

Rather than really talk to you

It's the love for you that I haven’t a clue
