Maybe it will be
a faded brilliance
(like a dying streetlamp
on a quiet evening)
or maybe it will be
a glamour you
can see straight through
(like the headlights
of a silver Lexus)
But
I will try to always shine
darling,
always shine
for you-
Because
I grew up believing
p e r f e c t i o n
scintillates so, oh so sweetly
(like when on a lonely night
you look up and see
all the rest
of our galaxy)
and you, my love, you are
breathtakingly brilliant
(think supernova)
So forgive me for wanting
to glimmer if only for now-
(it's just that
I don't think
my unsparkling flaws
are the kind you could fall in love with)
I would always wish
to be the one
who puts light
in your beautiful eyes.
Thank you so much though! They were meant to be something like that.
