You make me feel like
It’s four in the morning
and we’re dancing on the rooftop
of some building
under the stars
no music
and a smile plastered on my face
without the feeling
that I need to say something entertaining
it’s just us
And
when I think of you
I think of the rain
pouring too hard
you can see the pale reflection of light
from some abandoned streetlamp
on the water running down your face
I love you
but
you don’t know
and I cannot tell you
I love you
in the way that
it physically hurts
to be in your presence
because you don’t know
I look at you
like you’re my everything
because
you are my everything
my moon and stars
and
the unbroken rays of sunshine
that I wasn’t even aware that I needed
in my darkness
Yet
you have your own darkness
and I suppose
that’s another thing that drew me to you
you keep it so well hidden
underneath the facade of the perfect son
but
you’re almost as tainted as me
You are the music playing faintly in the background
while I’m driving too fast
down the highway
and the sun is setting
you aren’t there
you’re everywhere all at once
and I am so lost
I don’t think you want me
but I’m terrified you do.
