As it flashes between shades of purple and blue
I find myself thinking of you
It lights up the sky
Like you lit up my day
And pushed all the clouds away
It warns planes of the buildings
And keeps them from crashing into us
The way that you were always there to steady my legs when they were shaking
And show me the way when I'd fallen
You both keep me from getting lost
In the jungle of concrete and people
And maybe that's why I take so much comfort
In seeing it tower over the skyline
Standing tall and proud
And completely unabashedly unafraid to be itself
Never changing to please anyone
And maybe that's why I feel so much calmer
When I stand by the glass walls
Holding my hands back with sheer will
And watch it with a smile on my face
As I struggle not to reach out and touch it
As if it wasn't so far away
Because it brings me much more joy
Than any landmark should
But maybe that's because
It reminds me of you
And shows me that I can be
Strong
Tall
Proud
Brave
Passionate
Important
And one day maybe
I'll mean something to someone
The way that you meant everything
To me
