In the shadows I didn't have to hide

In the darkness I didn't have to speak

I won't have to feign indifference

Or act like you're just a friend

Because in the night my feelings scream

Begging to be let out

But when the light peaks through the curtains

I will be what you want me to be

A friend and nothing more

Act like I don't see galaxies in your eyes

Try my best not to notice the curve of your lips

It's unbearable.

But at least in the darkness

You'll really see me

The real me

Our words and delicate touches will float into the night

Let me have you just this once

Please.


A/N

It's been a while. I have a load of poems just sitting in one of my notebooks but for the life of mine I couldn't bring myself to publish them.

Here you go tho :)

Stay safe
