His girlfriend has eyes that make the stars look like an eigth grade science project,
Like glitter covered wallpaper that can only shine in her absence,
Her presence can fill a room so whenever she's around I'm afraid to breath,
Because I know I'd never allow something so beautiful to escape my lungs,
And I'd die to keep her safe inside of me.
His girlfriend is a dilator of time and space,
She unravels the universe around me,
A planet sized beauty and I can not escape the gravity of her smile,
I'm trapped in the orbit of her,
She is the only ocean that adds sugar to the lips of suicide,
I want to taste the sweet of her touch and drown in her.
His girlfriend has a voice that makes you think of heaven,
Sometimes I can see the footprints we leave on the moon when we engage in quiet conversation,
She has a universal reputation,
So whenever she's not around I feel completely alienated.
I think I'm in love with his girlfriend,
But I can never tell her that,
Because she's my friend,
She's the quiet that helps me stay calm in the storm,
She's the brakes on the race track of my mind that keeps me from going off course,
She's the whisper in my ear that keeps me going when the voices in my head get to loud and cause me to doubt,
I don't know what I'd do without her,
And honestly I'm not ready to find out,
So I will keep this secret safe on the tip of my lips,
And make my peace with the fact that she's his,
I'll lock these feelings away so I don't have to risk losing her,
I'll take the pain of seeing her happy in his arms,
I'll die as many times as it takes on the inside,
If it means I get to spend whatever little time can with her,
Because though loving her while she belongs to another is the most painful thing I've ever had to endure,
Living without her would be a whole lot worse,
So I'll take my pain and my little slice of heaven,
And maybe one day I'll be okay with the fact that she's his girlfriend and will never be mine.
