I'm still working on it
I could say you are the sun, my sun
Beautifully bright, ever so true to yourself and everyone exposed to you. The one who gives meaning to my days, what is day without you?
But you burn, my skin cringes and my head pounds when you stay. I need you to but not all the time so i hide.
I am working on it
Maybe you are the moon, my moon
Subtle yet present, beautiful but you are forever changing. When i need the whole of you, you come only in fragments, still beautiful to look at but never enough.
I'm still working on it
My star? The way you illuminate my nights into a vision i want to behold for eternity. I'll be honest, you are the biggest reason i look forward to the night. You are everywhere, all over, how am i to focus if pieces of you are floating in different shapes and orientations. An abyss in a galaxy, a faraway orbit. Trust me that is the beauty i want but baby, i want you in your wholeness.
I'm really still working on it
You can be the sky, my sky
Ever present, consistently constant
I know the storms steal your beauty but you always come back, the sun tries to illuminate but you always stay true. The moon and stars overwhelm you with their grandeur, i love that it compliments you.
I worked on it and i think i got it
What do you think?
