I imagine you smiling on our drive the way to our destination,
I imagine you pointing at everything you see and telling me what you think about them.
And i imagine i’d look and listen every time.
I can live in a world where we aren’t together,
I can’t live in one where we don’t meet.
I imagine that one night i could tell you i love you,
I imagine that you’d tell me the same.
I know that you won’t.
Still, how bright you are in this dark world,
How soft you are in contrast to everyones rough edges,
Warmth exudes from your being—a sun,
a star personified amongst rocks.
I’ll stay in this crossroads until i’m pushed and pulled to finally be on one side,
Until then i’ll continue loving you, and looking for you in every room i enter,
And think of you with every good thing that happens.
I’ll burn beside you,
A sun that is not mine—
A sun that burns so bright i know it will never be mine.
