I'm the shade that never reached your eyes,
The shade which stilled at your sight,
The shade still yearning for your light.
I'm the side that never caught your eye,
Always behind, never by your side – just one side.
You're the shine behind my eyes,
The reason behind my smile,
Even the pink hue of my shy,
You're my star, my Saturn and my entire sky,
I'm the shade that was never by your side.
I could maybe live in your light –
But my roots thrive in my shade.
I could grow wings and fly to your side –
But my roots hold me tight to even try.
Would it be selfish to wish for a day,
A day I'm no longer a shade,
A day by your side,
Not bound to the ground –
Just me and my Saturn,
Where it's not just one-sided.
