People tell me I’m pretty when the sun is down
My body is a wonderland but only when cloaked in darkness
You want to feel the curve of my chest
But don’t want to see me in the moonlight
I’d have countless lovers if I agreed to be loved during nightfall

I want to be beautiful when the world is lit up
I crave to be shown off before dusk
Nobody walks down the street holding my hand
Unless the only witness is the moon

I’m the girl you get a crush on but never tell your friends about
Growing up I always had boys confessing to me
But only online
Only in secret

Maybe someday someone will love me in the daylight
Kiss me in the middle of the afternoon
In front of their friends
When there are witnesses to their affection
But for now I’ll be the girl you only find pretty in moonlight
Or when you’re feeling tipsy and the world isn’t quite what it used to be
