green

i wish i were the girl
who made the sun shine brighter each day for you.
who makes you smile upon each peaking dawn,
and ignites laughter in ordinary stances.

i wish i were the girl
who made the stars twinkle brighter in your sky.
who gives you wonder in deep navy seas
and dances in the pale beams of the moon.

i wish i were the girl
who knew the touch of your hand
who never knew of space or time
without the forbidden lingered thoughts.

this girl, however, exists
and in ways i find myself painted green.
in times of longing for closer distance,
i find envy in ways you allow her.

however, it's unfair of me to claim exhaustion
or to be down about her now,
because i am not the keeper of what you keep close
nor has this ever been accepted.

you see, i'd try to be these things for you
and to show you i know how.
but minds get made upon stone set things
and this season i can not change.  

but i'll still be the girl 
who will hold your umbrella through the rain.
and i'll still be the one
who wishes on your streaking stars.
because regardless of your intent
with the sun, the moon or stars
in small ways, around my heart
you'll always be that man.
