Firefly

The number of times you cross my mind in a day could not be counted with all the stars in the nights sky. One of those lights, a firefly, uncatchable; reminding me ever so much of you. So reserved and inner kept from things that matter. I suppose in that regard, I know I matter; an inference from an observation are what keep me going. Such a small strand, yet I hold on so strongly with only it. A man overboard in a raging sea that tries to pull me away; I stay a float with only my hope as a life jacket. I wish you'd pull me in, I wish you'd save me. You tell me that I'm not the other half you want and with the ease at which those words come to mind, the air from my hope filled life jacket escapes. Lost at sea with my firefly to guide me. The night sky fades, the stars starting to disappear; the words seem to get clearer and more distinct as the thoughts of you limit. I want to say them but who is there to hear me; I want you to hear me, but you're not listening now.
