favorite

february.20.2003

You were my favorite one,
as you stood above the rest.
Something in those eyes,
I knew you were the best.

Good enough I'm not,
so I keep my distance wide.
You'd never even try,
to see all that I hide.

It hurts to hold it in,
but the choice is not my own.
The beauty that you are,
is all I've ever known.

I don't know who you are,
and the other way the same.
But let it stay that way,
and leave me in my shame.

You are my favorite one,
and I see it every night.
Your face lights up the room,
and these wrongs are all made right.
