i can make myself feel prettier
than the way you did for me

i crave a love so pure
that romeo & juliet
would die for

my heart is beating fastly
because it is not over you
but time is passing slowly
without your presence

it is so difficult to say no
to those i have been
dying to say yes to

the flowers that grow in the dark
standing shyly alone
are the beautiful ones
that will blossom unexpectedly

i am counting stars in someone else’s sky
when theirs do not glow as bright as mine
for i wish for a life different from now
where i am too blind to notice
all of my blessings that have not been counted

i learned to save the hard way
by not wasting millions on those
who would not spare a penny for me
