Insert me in your life when you want, I'll wait patiently
Ignore me until you need another performer in your show
And I'm the most experienced one there is
I'm always happy to play the role of your love

Flecks of light dance within your eyes,
gray or blue or green, always changing
with the seasons, with your mood,
with the shade of the flourescents
with your eccentric thrifted clothes,

my voice is carried away by the breeze,
whispers of the friendship that never blossomed
of the love of the boy i can't have.
these words fall apart
slowly 
sink under the ground
because nobody cares
nobody realizes

In the darkest of nights
when I lie awake,
the tiniest sliver of moon shining through the pitch-black 
blanket of sky,
all I want to see are flowers
blooming and trees
bursting with soft green leaves.
