shining star

I trust me

to love you

but not to hurt you

I trust

me to listen

yet,

sometimes

I may not hear

I can honor you

today

but what about a year?

I think I'm afraid

that you won't stay

so I kiss you

then I run away!

I go through the trouble

of finding you

learning your outs

and ins

but I cannot seem

to move past

 being just a friend.

I think

I want to keep you

in a place

I won't have to lose you

when

competition comes

to offend;

In my life

friendship

is the only thing

I can depend

I trust me to treasure you

regardless

of where you are.

As long as I know

you're happy

you will always be

my

shining star
