Past the Shine
I’m trying to look past the shine
You seem to have facets so deep
They get trapped in my mind
Wrapped around images of perfection
Solidified when we spend time
And as much as I want to bask in it
I can’t helped but be stunned by it
Amazingly you seem to fit me
And it’s almost too good to believe
I’m trying to look past the shine
Somehow I tend to be wrapped up
Tangled in you and thoughts of you
Caught up in thoughts of a possible us
Leaning on our common hurt as a crutch
Wondering if this is all that we have
Wondering if it would be enough
Taking time to finally see you
Becoming addicted to the little things you do
And part of me is hoping it’s true
I’m trying to look past the shine
To make sure I’m not creating you
Making you be what I’ve wanted
What I’ve been hoping for all this time
I’m trying to stand still so I can really see
What exactly you have that gets me
The brightest jewels dull as days pass
If your shine faded would my intrigue last
Hoping to give you the opportunity
To finally and truly experience me
For this, the best thing seems to definitely be
To awkwardly go back, if neither of us minds
To somehow, forcefully, look past the shine.
