Keep Them On

I walk in the room only to hear his slow deep breaths So peaceful, so calm I hope he's dreaming of me A better version of me One that isn't a hurricane of emotions Another me who is the woman he deserves Who speaks like silk and walks like waves I have never been that girl I am a chubby cheeked messy haired girl who never gets written about in poems But you you are more beautiful than any combination of words could ever hope to be I have come to terms with the fact I will never be enough for you I'm just praying to god you don't wake up one day and see what I see So for now I will play pretend and be the sun in the sky For as long as I am gleaming you will have no reason to take your rose colored glasses off
