"I SHALL BE THE MOON" by Joanne Boyle

"I SHALL BE THE MOON"
by Joanne Boyle

I stood in the shadows of daylight,

so that I could see you shine.

I didn't mind being unnoticed.

Being in the background was just fine.

You didn't know that I was watching.

Just like I did back in the day.

I find myself still laughing now,

at the things that you would say.

Everybody you met loved you.

You were like a breath of fresh air.

Something about your presence

made everyone stop and stare.

You brought joy to every moment.

Lit up the room with your big smile.

Nobody but I saw the real you

that would surface once in a while.

It was then I'd come from the shadows.

I didn't mind being second best.

I just knew you like no other,

and knew when you needed to rest.

You cared so much for others.

You forgot to care about you.

I could see the sun going down

and what you were going through.

Now you watch me from the shadows,

as I try to be your light.

And with every breathe I take

I will be your fight.

I miss being In the shadows.

I will go back there soon.

Once again you will be the sunshine

and I shall be the moon.
