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
