Thoughts when I can't sleep

Purple

.

I've heard how you are with her

I don't have the eyes to witness but i have a soul that can

Her lips might quiver at your hello

And shiver at your touch

When you reach out to grasp her hand

Next time she falls in love

Okay, well, the next time she gets infatuated

If ever that person is you, or me, or anyone

Do consider this:

Will you keep her up in bed?

Will you tell her you love her, late at night,

And actually mean it?

Will you make her love herself for loving you?

Respect her, never abandon her

Tell each other everything

And say things you wouldn't regret?

I honestly will feel confident, if now is the time

If the world is finally letting herself love and be loved for the first time

She'll finally have someone

Who's there to fill up the spaces in her sentences

When she runs out of rhymes

I know this is selfish of me to ask

But can you live the life I had failed to live?

She is much, much more than what I had said

What I had told, what I had done and would've and could've done

I could've given her the world, but I had none to give

All those conversations we've shared, time we've spent

The secrets only us and the moon and the rising sun know

My time is up for those now

I'm passing the crown to you

But before I let you go

Now that she's "gone for greener pastures", i call it

And please don't make a big deal out of this tomorrow

I just have one thing to ask of you

And I ask you this:

Love her like you'd never hurt her; and she deserves to know
