Lucky me to have found
That one true guy that makes me sound
Better than them gushy girls you wanna choke.
They complain bout life, bout men, bein broke.
Cuz I found that guy whose my friend;
The only one who’ll hug me then
Scold me for not being strong
Remind me to keep going on
With my life, with my love,
With my works, with the stage.
I’ll hear his tender voice
Say tender words to engage
Me in my thoughts and in my words
In what i have done
And in what I am going to do.
I don’t need a pedestal to know that I’m good.
I have someone like him;
A true friend who understood
What it’s like to live long days
To stand alone while they all gaze
Waiting for that next action to come
To see if I’ll falter, succeed or succumb
And let the pressure of life unfurl
Or become like my turtle and bear the weight of his world.
And yet he’s my opposite, my compliment.
He is the night; I am the day.
The only one to call me sunshine, yet
Keep me in darkness away
From all that he holds deep.
I’m the code to his design
And he’s the strength that I lack.
He’s the reason to my nonsense
And the glue when I crack.
I’m the editor to his letters,
I’m gentle when he’s tough,
He talks when I’m quiet,
And I smile when time’s rough.
How lucky am I to have a man like him.
How many times has he saved me from my own grim
Darkness and put me back in the light
Gave me time to breathe, get back up and fight.
If he could just put his guard down long enough to know
To finally let me in so I can finally show
That sometimes you shouldn’t be alone in tough times
That sometimes the ones who love you help you climb.
And I know that it’s easy to push away the ones that love you
Because you know they’ll always be there
And never hold themselves above you.
So until that time comes I will always be me
And hide my Sunshine behind the dark cloud
And just let things be.
Because no matter how strongly I believe in him
How wonderful, amazing and super a human being he has always been
He still hasn’t quite accepted the good qualities he holds within;
And even though until this day we can only just “be”
I will secretly ALWAYS be there for him no matter what
To secretly remind him of how much he makes me happy.
