There are things
That are only beautiful
Because one cannot possess it.
I will forever be in love with you
And it will forever be unrequited.

if only you’d stop letting the world define who you are,
if only, sweet, golden child.

if only you’d close your eyes and run through those sun soaked fields.

if only you’d let go of your pride, let go of your safety, and take a chance.
your emotional drainage holds no reigns on you, golden child.

unleash.
be who you are,
you sweet, sweet, golden child.

i can’t call you a stranger,
but i can’t call you mine.
