What Truly Makes Me Happy

Although it is true,

that there may be waves,

that ripple the distance between us,

that you nor I can deny—

no obstacle will ever be too great,

for you to find me, or I to you. 

We are artists of our own kind,

crafting words and song, 

painting the landscape of our dreams,

and finding what feels right,

in a world where sparks are so easily lost.

But not yours—

it shines, it awakens,

it gives hope to the forsaken.

And I was a ship lost at sea,

waiting for your light to guide me,

to find my way to treasured shores.

And such treasure had I found,

within your heartbeat.

Such a melodic sound—

the perfect frequency.

And even in friendship,

I value you greatly,

and would do anything you asked of me,

because I care so deeply, 

for the human that you are,

and the human you help me be.

I expect nothing from you,

but will give everything to you,

because your happiness matters to me,

and I wish to see you succeed—

I really do,

even if it’s not with me.

Simply being your friend,

is what truly makes me happy.
