When they upset you, I stole their eyes-
Just to see why they would harm you.
I hid their frowns- so you could smile,
and chased the wind where your kisses blew.
In secrecy, I used to be jealous of the sky-
Your attention was something I never liked to share-
Even birds wanted to fly in love with your eyes,
They- were the only ones
colored by air.
But it never meant I wasn’t there the whole time,
Just because I wouldn’t come out far enough to see...
You never knew it burnt my skin,
But still, I’d play with you outside-
And finally- pull my weary self, under your wing
Everytime you tired,
and fell-
asleep.
Just to see why they would harm you.
I hid their frowns- so you could smile,
and chased the wind where your kisses blew.
In secrecy, I used to be jealous of the sky-
Your attention was something I never liked to share-
Even birds wanted to fly in love with your eyes,
They- were the only ones
colored by air.
But it never meant I wasn’t there the whole time,
Just because I wouldn’t come out far enough to see...
You never knew it burnt my skin,
But still, I’d play with you outside-
And finally- pull my weary self, under your wing
Everytime you tired,
and fell-
asleep.
