there has been times
you've been in plain sight
and i didn't realize it was you

what's with your irk
with your own real name?
that you'd register under a fake one?

I think your name is beautiful
with a storied etymyology
I just like saying it in my head

even tho it's a boys name
but i know lots of girls with it too
and one in anime, in angel tales

she was strong, kind and prone to jealousy
and i know you are at least one of those, lovely
While between the two of you there next to no
meaningful parralels worth examining and to know
when i look into your eyes, which happens all too rare
i see humility in its most pure and bare
although you seem to be getting better by the day
or that's only my wishful thinking
i kinda really like you by the way

you already know

i wonder how you
came up with a psuedonym
that suits you just fine

coz self-comfort
isnt quite your forte
and you found one that gels with your mind apparently

or maybe you were just escaping
and it was the first thing that came to you
out of the gray

well anyway it i think it's cool
i've had a fair share of mine
thom, ash and hide, i got to admit

it is fun pretending you are someone else
imagining you're under a different circumstance
While intoxicating i don't indulge too much
I bet you do too stop when it reaches a crux
when i look into your eyes, which happens all to rare
i see humility in its most pure and bare
although you seem to be getting better by the day
or that's only my wishful thinking
i kinda really like you by the way

you already know
it is hard to miss the gigantic elephant in the room
especially when that elephant has written 2 l.ps about you
but i can't help but think if you talked to me regularly
then i'd regularly shrug you off like all the other distractions

now yr a puzzle
now yr a mystery
please let you be something more
than an oddity

to be explained
to be solved
and ultimately
to be done with

that's be sad for us
equally
must i find love in other places?
for the meantime...
