stardust and sunshine

i love this one so so much... hope you enjoy!

********************************

i spent so much

time

on you

on making you

smile

on uncovering your

deepest

darkest

secrets and

shedding light

on them

because i believed

you could glow

you were made of

sunshine and

daisies

and wildflowers

he was made of

thorns and

stardust

and wild things

but while he was

cold

while he was

hard

loving him was

not

and while you were

bright

and you were

easy

i was too young

to know

that loving you

should've been

easy too

i begged you to

meet me halfway

but you shook your

head

so i ran the whole

distance

to you

i told you that

love was not a

one way street

but you disagreed

so i called that

cul de sac

my home

and i asked you to

just understand

but you couldn't

and i assumed

that i was not

worth

your understanding

but i was more

than worth

your understanding

and in time

i stopped listening

to your woes and

your pains

and your regrets

and in time

i tuned you out

and i moved out

of that cul de sac

to a big city

full of two way

streets

and when you

asked me

to drive to you

i said i was

done

being there for

you

when you weren't

there for me

and i met him

a two way street

a little hurt and

a little broken

like me

and i wished i

had known

earlier

that thorns

are better than

fake daisies

and that stardust

is worth more

than sunshine
