Eyes as stars in my sky, music in your oh so contagious laughter that makes my heart punch through my chest. When I look at you I see a painting of a master, brush strokes that cannot match the wildness of your hair. My heart belonged to you before you spoke a word; and my soul called out, feeling as though this was the one. In your sky, I am no star, but a street lamp, ordinary and forgettable. Your music is another radio station, playing the hits of another life, where I am but brief static. You look at me and see a blank page, plain, simple, painfully bare with no idea even needing me. To you I am nothing, but a face in a sea of people. My soul lied to me, greedy for love and comfort, it has left me broken over wanting you. My heart cracks every time I see you and you look through me, a ghost of the present.
