Dear Distant Boy



Dear distant boy
I have watched you from afar
Your eyes on the moon
As distant as you are
I may be no moon but I wish they could land on me
As I am mearly a glance away
I may not bring light to your black sky like her
But you could wish on the glowing stars in my eyes
Over and over
And bring to light your deepest, darkest desires
Yet that would only feed those growing little fires
That burn that happiness in your mind
So these eyes I'll forever hide
For you to never find
Because in the depths of my soul
I know
My heart, you would have declined.
