For You

I used to gaze at the sky at night
And look upon the stars
I'd watch them twinkle and admire their light
And wished they weren't so far.
I seek them out when I am sad
Searching constellations I know
I count, one by one, the multitude
Wishing on the light they show.
Then one day, you came along and all the stars grew dim
But they never really grew any darker, than they initially had been
It's just that you were shining brighter than any of them were
And though once they had been beautiful, to you they can't compare.
You have made me see another side to beauty
Far deeper and more profound than what the eyes can see
And now I suddenly find myself unable, to take you off my mind
And all the logic in the world, no reason I can find.
The truth is, even if my mind is a mess from thinking of you too much
It's something that I'll always do because you mean so much.
