I just wanted a friend

I recognize you in every constellation

I see you in every wildflower

I didn’t want it to end

I hear you in every divine chord

When I am around you the person I want to be is unrecognizable

I just wanted a friend

You make my days stand still and bring sunshine to my nights

I didn’t want it to end

When I dream of you I want to sleep forever

I cannot sleep when I think of you

And so I dream of you in every waking moment

Thank you for letting me feel

If I could ever be someone you'd admire

I would feel more seen than if the eyes of the entire world were upon me

Even though it wasn’t real

My heart aches to hear your beating

And my arms ache to feel your warmth

I yearn to be messy, complicated, but truthful

I know that you belong to the universe and I could never have you

But tonight I need you all to myself
