Son, let me take this time to congratulate you
On your final exam day of high school
Tear the page out of the book
You’ve made us proud
Your Mom and I
Carpe diem,
Noah

We're nothing more than poetry.
All that's left are words,
A lovelorn rhythm,
And the strings of the heart.

We're nothing more than poetry.
We're just another lyric
About another bond,
That was broken from the start.
With a smile reminiscent to the glow of the moon
And eyes that put a starry sky to shame,
When our sights meet, melancholy and joy become one
And generate a feeling unknown to man;

Melancholy, for the aching burden of not knowing every little thing about you
Joy, for the blessing of the sole vision of you.
No canvas can match the beauty
Of the truest masterpiece.

No orchestra can match the chaste sound of your voice,
A simple "hello" puts my heavy heart to rest.
I pray that the beauty that lies beneath the curtain
Is far greater than what is presented.

My heart burns with an enticing flame
As melancholy and joy meet, creating an emotion unknown to man.
Melancholy, for not being your closest friend
And joy, for the chance to truly get to know you.
