Misconception

You seemed like a token at first,

as horrible as that sounds.

like a decoration for the girls,

a novelty to have around.

 

you squealed at the right songs,

and put colours in your hair,

you listened to their love stories,

and you seemed eager to share

 

but I judged you naively,

I presumed and decided.

I should of seen through, to reality

I should have tried to meet David.

 

Because you are smarter than I

ever bothered to determine.

the beauty and depth you hide

behind a charming, perky curtain

 

I'm sorry for not seeing you

for who you truly were

a soul, like mine, self tortured

complicated, and hurt.

 

but now, we've found each other.

you surprise me every day.

David, In you I have discovered

a friend I'd never change.
