I've been thinking about a high school AU with straight!Patrick and lovesick!Pete, where Pete writes Patrick poems but never sends them. I don't have a specific character in mind for the "she" mentioned- just one of Pete's random girlfriends, perhaps.
The lack of capitals is on purpose. :)

she told me she thinks the moon is the prettiest thing
i said, "second to you," and she giggled.
it was high-pitched, with the crowded sort of loneliness.
we walked home, glimmering moonlight
i told her it made her eyes shine
but she's nothing special. i've seen you glow in the dark.
she finds it romantic, how the moon watches from so far away
but i think 'romantic'
would be having you in my arms. distance hurts.
the moon is cold and white and round
and it reminds me of the pills i take to sleep
when you aren't here to sing away the monsters.
it's uncaring, indifferent, giving nothing but chilled light
and apparently, so am i- at least, she says so
but her anger is fake. i know she never really liked me.
there's a frame on the moon, the wood of my window
hanging low and scraping the trees
it's two a.m. and i'm a nightmare away from calling you.
you change every time i see you, your own lunar cycle
the dark side creeping shadows onto your skin
and i don't know what to expect, when i'm just your eclipse.
people always said to shoot for the moon, but you're bulletproof
i think i'll stay here, drowning in the dregs of ruined stars
and dreaming of painting my name on your lips.
the moon is thousands of kilometers away
you're only a few miles and a confession
yet somehow, it's farther.
too far.
