Can't be like you,
No one can.
Distant star out of reach,
Not many even knew.

But I stand here an island,
Hoisting up your flag.
Saluting a man I never met,
Wanting to be in a band.  

So many dreams I've seen,
They overflow my thoughts.
Imaging I am sitting alone in the dark,
Remembering my life as I scream.

But not wanting to take back,
A single moment gone through.
Running naked in the forest,
Adding more stories to my stack.

So many journeys accomplished,
And a thousand more to go.
Hungry for the entree,
Yet I only can have the side dish.

You inspire me much like a sun inspires a light bulb.
I shine bright in my room, but will never light...the world.
