Unavailable

Under the ‘guise of ‘Unavailable’ never able to take that chance, ‘Are you his girlfriend’? very easy to misread; always there, his strong side; Invisible, adoring silence; Lighting up the room because she’s lit up, Always because of him; Barely seen but always felt, left to her own devices she’d admit it; Each moment? She remembers; Energy lent so he feels what she does, love so strong it fills up the room; Bystanders and strangers smile and laugh as they tip that tip jar; Leaving her to lead the charge, It’s lost to him; All of the reasons she’s always there very easy to deny; All of times he has unknowingly saved her, not willing to risk her reason for breathing; Under the ‘guise of ‘Unavailable’.
