We made an interesting pair, you and I.
Always trying to outdo each other.
Well, no.
Really, I just tried to outdo you.
You never cared too much.
I admire that, though I've never told you so.
You didn't care when I tried to be smarter,
To be more artistic,
To be better at everything.
It didn't matter to you.
It always mattered to me, though.
Somehow, I couldn't stand the thought of you beating me.
Except for singing.
I could never be a better singer than you.
Never.
I've accepted that fact,
Embraced it even.
Rather than resenting it as a failure on my part,
Instead I enjoyed listening,
And appreciated your talent, skill, and beauty.
Not that I told you so often.
It's interesting, you know.
Whenever we would take pictures together,
Side by side as we should be,
There was always that difference,
That contrast we couldn't ignore.
With my light hair and bright shirt,
And your dark hair and dark clothes,
We always pointed out the same thing,
Enjoying the symbolism.
I was the angel,
And you the demon.
The same, every time.
It even made sense, in a way.
But tonight, with you on the stage and me in the crowd,
You standing tall in the spotlight,
And me sitting in darkness,
Your voice blending beautifully with everyone around you,
Creating stunning masterpieces of harmony
That I could never hope to rival...
Tonight, our roles were reversed.
Sitting in the crowd and looking up at you,
I was absolutely certain of one thing.Tonight, you were more of an angel than I will ever be.
