The Moth and the Butterfly

You're a social butterfly And I'm an introspective moth Your wings are so beautiful And you radiate such a pervasive light And I spend my days Drawn to the light you shine But we're two worlds apart So radically different in almost every respect Nothing makes me happier Than to see you smile So I'm fine with the status quo Even if I dream of elevation Sometimes some things are best left unsaid And one day I may find a more realistic light You're a social butterfly And I'm an introspective moth
