An A+ on a paper
That's all I've ever been to them
My teachers
A face in the hallway
That's all I'll ever be to them
The other students
A shock of blond and green hair passing through
That's all I've been to them
Everyone
But
To you
I like to think I've been more
I like to think
That just maybe
I've been a song stuck in your head
A poem scribbled on the edge of a test
A doodle on your hand
I like to hope
That maybe I've been the thoughts on a long car ride
Or the person you thought of right before you've dropped off to sleep
That I've been the brightness in your mind on a bad day
And the first text you send in the morning
I like to imagine that I'm the one who catches you when you dream of falling
And that when you cry it's thoughts of seeing me that cheer you
Because I know
That's what you are to me
You aren't just a pair of eyes
Or a mess of hair
You aren't a grade on a paper
Or a face in a crowd
You're my first thought in the morning
My first wish on every star
And my hope every time I think I can't do it anymore
You're my saviour
My light at the end of the tunnel
And I like to hope that maybe
Just maybe
I'm yours
