Like Gold

You make me so sad but I can’t stop smiling

Like a wild tornado, you have me spiraling

Remember what you said, what you did

Brought me out of my shell, meant to stay hid

But you’re a force of nature, I couldn’t compete

In a world of average, you’re nothing short of elite

Can’t believe I’m saying this but you made me believe

I could do anything that I’ve ever wanted to achieve

Because you’re so great, it’s undeniable

You’re iron-clad, so reliable

Losing sleep just to ponder you more

Never met someone like you before

You asked for more and I gave what I could

If the roles were reversed, I’m sure you would

Because that’s who you are, it’s your nature

The one who’s good with nomenclature

Even though your presence comes with hurt

I’m hungry for more, like a fine dessert

Not because I’m some glutton for pain

Just someone who wants your good vibes to remain

I’ve been through worse and received much less

But here’s the tough part, I have to assess

How much you mean, I can’t just pretend

That I don’t want you to be more than my friend

But for the first time, I think I’m at peace with myself

Not going to let my greed tarnish your wealth

I’m okay with things simple, just a meet and greet

Not going to pretend I’ll become part of your fleet

It is what it is, that much is for sure

I’m not going to become ill just for your cure

I’ll keep moving forward, continue to learn

Just wait around until I find someone else who yearns

Know you won’t be by my side but I’ll never forget

That meeting you is something I could never regret
