Firefly

If I had to use one word to describe our relationship it would be ‘dim’ 
Never something
But never nothing 
No,  we never talked about it like we were each others’ sun 
Maybe a flickering star at best 
Like a needle in a haystack
It wasn’t apparent to everyone 
But at least it was there   
A spark in the dark always seems brighter than it is  
So when it was snuffed out I went blind for a second 
All I had were questions 
The answers were right in front of me
But alas, it was too dark to see
So I ran into anything that felt like light
I realize that I hate being a moth 
If I could be a firefly instead I think I’d be happier 
We’d be happier, not that there is a ‘we’ anymore
A part of me thinks 
maybe you’d come flapping back to me
If I could be a firefly
