The Daisy


The Daisy;

 

You met me under the stands

Your eyes were a bright green

You were wearing a hat

I always loved you in hats

We smiled a lot with each other

I thought you were adorable

I still don’t know what you thought of me

 

You dated my best friend

You rebounded to me

I accepted it as fate

Me being given her table scraps

I still was so happy to text you all day

Every morning was beautiful

Because you called me beautiful every morning

I didn’t care what we were talking about

I just wanted to talk to you

 

We were on and off

Two years of constant making up and shutting off

I was always the cause of the stop of our “friendship”

I was never ready for anything more

I was so scared of commitment

That I let the best thing to ever come my way

Fall for another girl

 

I fell in love with you two years too late

Surrounded by our friends

Watching ridiculous movies on netflix

You were being your silly self

On the couch next to me

All I wanted to be able to do

Was put my head on your shoulder

 

We had a tickle fight

We played Just Dance together

You beat me terribly

You drove me home the next day

 

You fell in love with a girl

A girl that loved you back

The second she met you

I wish I could’ve been that girl

I wish I could’ve known what I had

Before it was gone

Because your smile

Makes my world spin

And I am just another daisy in the patch

While she

She is your rose

 

I wish I would’ve risen to the occasion

While I still had the chance

Because now I would never want to be

With anyone else but you

 

I’m in love with you

And I can’t change that

I’m in love with our friendship, too

So don’t go changing that either

Just because you know how I feel

 

You continue loving her

If she is your rose


I will be the daisy that holds her up

To be with you
Because as long as you’re happy

I can catch a little sleep at night

 

You are perfect

Stay that way

You are happy

Stay that way

You are loved

You will never not be

Because I will always love you

Until the day that

This daisy dies

Giving to your happiness
